2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · ND14 CBO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 29 October 2025 at 77,843 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor or consumable issue that was addressed quickly before the retest. Since November 2022, the Astra has maintained clean passes without advisory notes, indicating a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 58,083 miles and October 2025 at 77,843 miles, the car covered 19,760 miles, representing a steady usage profile rather than long or long periods of neglect. This low-to-average mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile counterparts, though low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals if the vehicle sat stationary frequently. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as these are common areas of wear on this Vauxhall model. While the record is currently clean, the inspector should check for perished suspension control arm bushes and signs of corrosion on the rear brake lines or mounting points. Given the failure and subsequent retest in October 2025, verifying the specific reason for that failure is advisable to ensure it was not a symptom of a deeper mechanical issue or a structural weakness that is beginning to manifest.
