Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this Astra, prioritize checking the exhaust system. The 2025 MOT failure specifically cited a minor exhaust gas leak and a defective rear exhaust mounting; you should verify if these repairs were completed to a high standard and if any further leaks are audible during a test drive.
Ask for evidence of recent brake and tyre replacements. The 2022 MOT record indicated worn brake discs, pads, and tyres on multiple corners. Given the current mileage of 114,169, you should also check the service history for evidence of timing belt/chain changes and suspension component maintenance, as these are common areas for wear on high-mileage petrol Astras.
As a 1.4L petrol model, this vehicle typically sits in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for daily commuting. Fuel economy will be influenced by the high mileage, which suggests it may have been used for significant motorway or long-distance driving.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, but the high mileage means you should budget for more frequent replacements of consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are likely to fall between £1,400 and £1,800 depending on annual mileage.
First, inspect the exhaust system thoroughly. The 2025 failure for a gas leak and defective mounting suggests the rear section may be prone to corrosion or loosening. Check for any unusual vibrations or loud noises from the rear of the car while the engine is running.
Second, examine the glass and lighting. The most recent MOT (2026) noted a damaged windscreen and a headlamp with a product on the lens. Ensure the windscreen is free from cracks that could lead to further failure and check that all headlamps provide clear, unobstructed light output. Finally, check the tyre tread and brake condition, as the 2022 history showed multiple failures in these areas.
This 2014 white Vauxhall Astra 1.4 petrol has covered 114,169 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,744 miles per year. Its MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, including exhaust leaks and windscreen damage, alongside significant brake and tyre wear recorded in 2022. The most recent test in September 2026 passed, but noted minor defects regarding the headlamp and windscreen.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.0% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and engine management issues.
