2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · AE14 AOG

The 2025‑11‑14 MOT at 56,869 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the minimum roadworthiness standards. All tests since 2022 have shown no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no worsening or recurring failures. At an average of roughly 4,700 miles per year, the mileage is low for a 12‑year‑old 2014 model, suggesting lighter use or extended periods of inactivity. The record shows consistent annual testing from 2017 onward with no long gaps, and mileage has risen steadily from 22,026 miles in March 2017 to 56,869 miles in November 2025, reflecting normal usage rather than abrupt high‑kilometre accumulation. A buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, as perishing and cracking have appeared in 2021, 2023 and 2025, indicating possible suspension or alignment issues that may accelerate tyre wear. The 2022 failure on near‑side rear brake pads (1.1 mm) and the note on the hydraulic reservoir being near minimum mark require verification of brake pad thickness, fluid level and overall brake system health. The 2021 off‑side rear coil spring fracture points to potential suspension component fatigue; inspection of springs, bushes, shock absorbers and mounting points is essential. Finally, the 2025 child‑seat fitment restriction means the near‑side rear adult belt cannot be fully examined, so a visual check of the belt and seat anchorage is advisable.
