VAUXHALL ASTRA2014 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 23 October 2025 at 147,021 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. This car has passed its last four annual inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage accumulation is high, averaging over 12,000 miles per year across its twelve-year lifespan. The distance covered between December 2022 at 122,585 miles and October 2024 at 144,983 miles shows a period of heavy use, adding over 22,000 miles in roughly two years. Despite this high usage, the lack of MOT advisories suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that the MOT test may not fully quantify. At 147,021 miles, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts requires scrutiny. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage increases the likelihood of imminent wear on the drivetrain and clutch. Check for signs of chassis corrosion and inspect the brake discs for thinning, as these are common failure points for this model. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean MOT record. The absence of recorded faults is a positive indicator, but the total mileage necessitates a thorough check of all rubber seals and gaskets for leaks.
