2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DS14 HRL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive clean passes following a single failure. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 118,681 miles showed the Astra with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a three-year period of perfect results since the failure in 2022, suggesting that the current owner has addressed previous mechanical concerns and maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,900 miles per annum. The record shows steady accumulation, with a 12,570-mile increase between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 8,765 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regular usage indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often prevents the seal degradation and internal corrosion associated with low-mileage, older vehicles. While the recent MOT history is clean, a buyer must still inspect high-wear components given the 118,000-mile mark. Physical inspection should focus on the suspension control arms, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these often reach the end of their service at this mileage. You should also check for brake disc thinning and inspect the structural integrity of the sills for corrosion, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a specific threshold of depth.
