2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FH63 UUY

The 2014 Vauxhall Astra presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 126,373 miles, roughly ten months ago. The tester recorded no defects, indicating the vehicle met all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards at that time. Despite a failed test recorded on 22 December 2022 at 109,155 miles, the subsequent retest on the same day and the clean passes since then suggest any underlying issues were promptly rectified. The lack of recurring advisories or failures points to a vehicle that has been kept in sound running order. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the national average for a twelve-year-old vehicle, registering roughly 10,500 miles annually. Between 11 January 2022 at 104,201 miles and 22 December 2022 at 109,155 miles, the car covered just under 5,000 miles, indicating moderate use. A slight gap appears in the record between December 2022 and July 2024, yet the 5,979 miles added during that nineteen-month period remains consistent. The most recent phase shows a slight uptick in usage, with 11,239 miles accumulated between July 2024 and September 2025, reflecting a typical return to regular commuting distances. The official record provides no recurring mechanical or structural faults to target, as every test yielded a clean bill of health. A buyer should still physically inspect typical wear components appropriate for a 126,000-mile Astra. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, even though the roadworthiness tests passed. Verify the structural integrity of the sills and subframes for corrosion, a common issue on vehicles of this age, and assess the exhaust system for leaks or rust penetration.
