2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · CF63 AFU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-05-12 at 65,039 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This aligns with the prior 2024-05-16 test at 63,111 miles, which also passed despite a conflicting entry noting a failure with no defects recorded. The absence of recorded issues in the 2023-2025 tests suggests a stable maintenance trend, though the 2024 anomaly raises questions about data accuracy. No structural, braking, or suspension faults were flagged in the valid entries, indicating the car has met roadworthiness standards in recent years. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,039 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 5,420 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, suspension bushes, and brake discs. A notable jump in mileage between the 2023-05-05 test (56,547 miles) and the 2024-05-16 test (63,111 miles) suggests a 6,564-mile increase in 12 months, potentially reflecting heavier usage or inconsistent tracking. The sparse defect history does not reveal recurring mechanical issues, but low mileage may mask wear in critical systems. A buyer should inspect the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to stiffness or premature failure. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. The conflicting 2024 MOT entry warrants verification with the DVSA to confirm the test’s validity. While no structural rust or emissions issues were recorded, the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into the car’s mechanical health beyond basic compliance.
