2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DL14 YJS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on November 5 2025 at 99,012 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets testing standards without recorded defects or recurring advisories. The failures noted in November 2024 and 2025 were resolved immediately, suggesting that minor mechanical or emissions-related issues were addressed prior to subsequent tests rather than indicating a pattern of mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,251 miles annually. Between the November 2023 test at 86,800 miles and the November 2025 test at 99,012 miles, the car covered 12,212 miles over two years. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, which helps prevent the seal degradation and corrosion associated with long periods of standing, though the vehicle is now approaching the six-figure mark where drivetrain components may require more intensive inspection. While the record shows no outstanding advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and brake components for signs of wear. Given the age and mileage, pay close attention to structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT does not always flag surface rust until it becomes a structural concern. The clean history suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but verifying the condition of the rubber hoses and shock absorbers remains a priority for a Vauxhall of this era.
