2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · AV14 YNP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest inspection data. The most recent MOT test on 23 October 2025 at 126,231 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to maintain legal roadworthiness. Since the 2024 test, the car has maintained a clean record without any de-modifiers or advisories, suggesting a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, moving from 69,980 miles in October 2023 to 96,108 miles in October 2024, and then another 30,000 miles by the following year. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which helps prevent seals from seizing. The lack of significant gaps in the testing schedule confirms the owner has followed the annual requirement. While the history is clean of recurring defects, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of high-wear components common to this mileage bracket. At 126,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers often show signs of fatigue or leaking. The buyer should also check the brake discs for thinning and uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure thickness beyond minimum limits. Given the age of the Astra, a close look at the chassis for structural corrosion around weld points is essential to ensure the hidden integrity remains sound beyond the surface test results.
