2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DP14 FJD

The 2014 Vauxhall Astra has a mileage of 102,539 miles, which averages roughly 8,545 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of its age and suggests a standard usage pattern rather than extreme high mileage or excessive periods of sitting idle. The most recent MOT from September 2025 shows a significant decline in maintenance standards regarding tyres. The vehicle failed to meet ideal safety standards with multiple tyres being worn close to the legal limit, showing uneven wear on the inner edges, and exhibiting cracking on the sidewalls. This follows a 2024 advisory for thin rear brake pads, indicating that the vehicle is currently entering a phase where consumable components are requiring more frequent attention. The overall condition trend is worsening. While the vehicle had clean MOTs in 2022 and 2023, the recent history shows a pattern of neglected wear items, specifically brakes and tyres. The presence of cracking and perishing on the tyres, combined with uneven edge wear, suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or simply a lack of proactive maintenance. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners to ensure they are not near the legal limit. You must also check the wheel alignment to address the uneven inner edge wear and inspect the brake discs and pads to ensure the recent wear issues have been properly rectified.
