2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · OU14 WHG

The roadworthiness status of this 2014 Vauxhall Astra is currently supported by a clean pass on 2026-02-06 at 112,854 miles, though that same day initially recorded a failure before rectification. This pattern of a same-day fail and pass mirrors the previous annual test on 2024-02-23 and 2025-02-24, where failures also preceded passes without any recorded defects appearing on the public record. While the vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate, the recurring initial failures indicate that remedial work is consistently required immediately prior to certification. The recorded mileage sits at 112,854 miles after roughly twelve years on the road, averaging approximately 9,404 miles annually, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns. Annual test intervals show steady accumulation without prolonged periods of storage or excessive high-mileage clustering. The data set is remarkably sparse regarding specific advisory items or component failures, as the DVSA record lists no detailed defects for any of the recent tests despite the initial rejections. An in-person physical inspection requires careful scrutiny of consumable and mechanical systems that typically generate test failures on this platform, regardless of the clean administrative record. The prospective buyer should thoroughly examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, suspension components including coil springs and wishbone bushes, and exhaust emissions integrity. Checking the subframe for surface corrosion is equally prudent given the vehicle age, ensuring that components hidden from standard inspection views remain structurally sound.
