2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · BN14 CLZ

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent pass on 8 December 2025 at 85,333 miles. While the record shows a dual entry on that date involving a failure followed by an immediate pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests the initial failure was likely a clerical error or a minor, instantly rectifiable issue rather than a mechanical fault. The overall maintenance trend remains stable, as the car has cleared its last four consecutive MOT tests without a single advisory notice issued by the testing stations. The recorded mileage of 85,333 miles over a twelve-year lifespan averages approximately 7,111 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The testing cadence shows consistent annual oversight, with a slight increase in usage between January 2024 and October 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 2,700 miles in nine months. This steady accumulation indicates the car has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally helps prevent the premature degradation of seals, gaskets, and electrical connectors often seen in long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items inherent to the Vauxhall Astra platform, specifically the condition of the rear suspension coil springs and the integrity of the brake lines. Although the MOT history is clean, these components are frequent failure points on this model due to corrosion. You should verify the current thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables may be nearing their service limit despite passing the most recent inspection. Check for any signs of oil seepage around the rocker cover gasket and ensure the cooling system shows no evidence of coolant loss, as these are typical areas where maintenance requirements often arise as the vehicle crosses the 85,000-mile threshold.
