2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · LS64 CYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test in July 2025 at 80,074 miles passed despite defects for perishing and cracking on both nearside and offside rear tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life due to age rather than high mileage alone. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 8,000 miles between November 2021 and November 2022, followed by steady usage of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles annually thereafter. This low annual mileage suggests the car has been used for short trips or sat intermittently, which explains the tyreall cracking noted in the 2025 record, as rubber degrades over time even when not being stressed by frequent high-speed driving. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the history shows recurring issues with uneven wear and depth across 2022, 2023, and 2025. The repeated mentions of tyres worn on the edge in previous tests suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention. Given the age of the Astra and the low mileage, a physical check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust components is also essential, as the record does not show any mechanical failures or brake binding issues to date.
