2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · LR14 WHG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, the 13 January 2026 MOT at 67,176 miles recorded a pass with only a minor off‑side rear reflector blemish. Across the ten‑year span the record shows a stable maintenance pattern; no major failures have emerged and the recurring issues – tyre wear, a small exhaust leak and a historic oil seep – have been addressed without escalation. Mileage averages roughly 5,600 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2014 Astra. From 31,102 miles in March 2017 to 67,176 miles in January 2026 the vehicle accrued about 4,000 miles each year, indicating consistent, low‑intensity use and no abrupt spikes that would suggest harsh driving or prolonged neglect. The mileage log is complete for each annual test, providing a clear, uninterrupted picture of usage. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the rear tyre condition, as the February 2023 test flagged slight damage and cracking on the near‑side rear sidewall, and the March 2022 test highlighted front tyre wear near the legal limit. Verify that the minor exhaust leak noted in January 2024 – a small crack at the pipe‑to‑box weld – has not progressed, and inspect the area around the engine cover and under‑tray for any corrosion that might have developed since the last fitting. The 2022 oil leak, though classified as non‑excessive, warrants a visual check for any persistent seepage or dampness on the engine block. Finally, confirm that the off‑side rear reflector damage remains superficial and does not affect illumination, and perform a standard inspection of suspension bushes and brake components to ensure no hidden wear has arisen since the last MOT. Addressing these points will give a clear view of the car’s current condition and any remaining maintenance requirements.
