Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 March 2026 at 52,361 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of records reviewed. Each annual test produced a pass, though two of those dates show a same-day fail followed immediately by a pass at near-identical mileage, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 52,361 against a 2014 build, an average of roughly 4,363 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 41,708 miles in March 2024, 46,974 in March 2025, and 52,361 in March 2026, a consistent annual gain of about 5,300 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Low overall use for the age suggests lighter duty, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, seals, and brake components without high odometer wear. The history flags no advisories or recorded defects on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody integrity and brake condition, as the clean record offers no evidence of hidden rust or binding calipers that a static test might miss. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles at 46,974 and 52,357 miles warrant confirmation the correct vehicle and documentation were processed, but no mechanical concern arises from the entries themselves.
