2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · LP63 XJT

This vehicle presents a stable and unusually clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 157,316 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been meticulously kept to avoid advisory notices. The mileage is high for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 13,110 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between November 2023 and October 2024, where the odometer rose from 117,953 to 140,820 miles. This period of heavy use, totaling over 22,000 miles in a single year, indicates the car likely served as a long distance commuter. Despite the lack of MOT failures, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these naturally degrade under high mileage regardless of test outcomes. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills. While the tester flagged no corrosion in the most recent entries, vehicles of this age and mileage often develop surface rust or structural oxidation that may not yet be severe enough to trigger an MOT failure. A manual check of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion is also recommended given the total distance covered.
