Mileage and MOT

MOT, from the government's MOT records (DVSA, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), as of 2 November 2026: the latest record we hold ran out on 10 June 2026; ask the dealer for the current MOT.

It has had 14 MOTs. The latest, on 12 June 2026, failed.

It failed on: windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively both; exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases rear.

Advisories at the latest test: nearside radiator bottom mount missing; offside rear sidelight in boot not working; both front brake discs look very worn.

Mileage at that test: 99,452 miles. The advert says 79,000 miles, fewer than the MOT record, so ask the dealer which is right.

Advertised mileage is about 7,600 miles lower than the median mileage of a 2012 Vauxhall Astra on AskCar.
