2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FH63 YRE

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 67,305 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits well below typical class averages for a 2014 hatchback. The records show 48,112 miles at the 1 February 2022 test, rising to 53,631 by 20 February 2023, 56,969 by 1 March 2024, 61,846 by 21 February 2025, and 67,305 by the February 2026 test. That equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year, confirming light use. The sparse, defect-free data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs, though long idle periods implied by low mileage can mask perished rubber components not visible to the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's twelve-year age. Standing time accelerates degradation of flexible joints and can cause superficial corrosion on brake calipers or underbody seams even where the MOT found nothing. Verify tyre sidewall condition and check for fluid leaks around the drivetrain that low annual mileage may conceal. The clean advisory sheet suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet absence of flagged wear offers no insight into remaining life of consumables. Treat the history as evidence of compliance rather than proof of component health beyond each test date.
