2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CUI 682

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 30 June 2025 MOT, with a PASS at 37,299 miles. The tester flagged the nearside and offside front inner tyres as worn close to the legal limit, a repeat of the offside front tyre warning recorded on 4 July 2024. Tyre wear therefore persists, but no new defects appear, indicating a stable overall condition despite the recurring tread issue. Mileage has risen from 27,562 miles on 24 June 2021 to 37,299 miles on 30 June 2025, an average of roughly 3,100 miles per year. Increments of 2,251 miles (2021‑2022), 3,440 miles (2022‑2023), 2,103 miles (2023‑2024) and 1,943 miles (2024‑2025) show consistent, low‑usage patterns with no abrupt spikes. The low annual mileage suggests light duty or periods of inactivity rather than high wear, and the MOT record contains no gaps or unrecorded mileage spikes. A prospective buyer should verify tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, looking for uneven wear that could point to alignment or suspension problems. Inspect the front brake discs for remaining thickness and assess pad condition, as the 8 September 2023 test noted disc wear that may have progressed. Examine the engine bay for any oil seepage, given the oil leak noted in 2023, and confirm that the source has been remedied. Check headlamp aim, recalling the headlight adjuster alteration recorded on 24 June 2021. Finally, assess suspension bushes, coil springs and chassis for corrosion or fatigue, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, to ensure long‑term structural integrity.
