2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FE64 GXL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 April 2026 at 53,146 miles with no remaining defects. The maintenance trend is stable but reveals a pattern of neglect regarding basic consumables. The car failed its most recent test on the same day due to a structural failure and tear in the offside rear tyre, which required immediate replacement before the pass certificate was issued. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,429 miles per year. The odometer shows a consistent, slow climb from 21,731 miles in January 2018 to 53,146 miles in April 2026. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear, though long periods of inactivity can often lead to the rubber degradation seen in this record. A buyer should specifically inspect the tyres and suspension. The MOT history shows a recurring failure to replace tyres before they reach the legal limit or suffer structural decay. The nearside rear tyre was flagged as worn in both January 2024 at 43,660 miles and April 2025 at 48,080 miles, indicating the owner ignored a known advisory for over a year. Similarly, the offside front tyre showed cracking in January 2022. This suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The January 2023 test at 38,443 miles flagged a corroded rear coil spring. While the car passed, the buyer should check the current state of the rear suspension and underbody for further corrosion. Given the low mileage and the history of tyre cracking and spring corrosion, the vehicle may have spent significant time parked outdoors in damp conditions. A physical inspection of the brake discs for surface rust and the tyres for sidewall perishing is recommended.
