2013 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · TE13 ARR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record over the last two years. The most recent MOT test on 11 December 2025 at 24,158 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a pattern of successful passes in 2024 and 2022. This consistency suggests the mechanical and safety-critical components have remained within operating parameters during recent inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 1,858 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals of use, such as the 5,606 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,156 miles in the year leading to the latest test. While this low mileage indicates minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of stationary time can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown. The single failure on 7 December 2023 at 15,384 miles occurred just days before a successful pass, indicating a minor issue that was rectified immediately. Because the record shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus the physical inspection on age-related degradation rather than wear. Specifically check for perished suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake disc corrosion, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
