2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CX64 TOJ

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 28 January 2026 at 128,256 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual or near-annual examination clearing without advisories or recorded faults. The only anomaly is a failed test on 26 January 2026 at 128,255 miles showing no defects, immediately followed two days later by a clean pass; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical concern. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 2014 vehicle, averaging around 10,688 miles per year against the 128,256 miles recorded. The records show 104,065 miles at the September 2023 test, rising to 117,250 by September 2024, then 118,930 in January 2025 and 128,256 by January 2026. The step from 117,250 to 128,256 over roughly 15 months reflects consistent use with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes. The clean sheet across all entries indicates previous keepers addressed consumables and mechanical items before each test, though the sparse five-entry record limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's 12-year age and six-figure mileage, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture incipient wear. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checking, particularly around sills and subframes exposed to winter road salt since 2014. The twin January 2026 tests with no defects logged imply the vehicle was presented in sound order, but verifying exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person remains sensible before purchase.
