2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · LL14 BNO

The most recent MOT on 31 May 2024 recorded a pass at 88,875 miles, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. The absence of recorded defects across the three annual tests suggests a stable maintenance trend, with no emerging mechanical or structural issues evident in the official record. Mileage rose from 56,303 miles in May 2022 to 68,063 miles in May 2023, then to 88,875 miles in May 2024. The first interval reflects an average of about 12,000 miles per year, while the second shows a jump of roughly 20,800 miles, implying a recent increase in usage. Overall the 12‑year‑old Astra averages around 7,400 miles per year, a figure that aligns with typical private‑owner patterns, but the acceleration in the last year warrants attention to wear‑related components. A prospective buyer should examine tyre tread depth and uniformity, as higher mileage often accelerates tyre wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of looseness or corrosion, especially around the front lower arms where mileage‑related fatigue can manifest. Brake discs and pads merit a close look for glazing or uneven wear, given the increased distance covered since the last test. Finally, a visual survey of the under‑body for rust or structural damage will confirm that no hidden deterioration has escaped the MOT record.
