2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · PK64 KWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 35,827 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a recent shift toward consumable wear issues rather than major mechanical failures. While the car maintained a clean record between 2021 and 2022, the two most recent tests indicate that components are beginning to reach the end of their service lifans. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 35,827 miles is significantly low, averaging just under 3,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or kept stationary, which can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components. The data shows consistent annual usage of approximately 2,000 to 2,500 miles between 2021 and 2025, indicating a predictable and light driving history that generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system and wheel geometry. The October 2025 advisory noted an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. This follows a 2024 advisory regarding thin nearside rear brake pads. Given the low mileage, the inspector should check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that sit for long periods. Verifying the condition of the tyres across all axles is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked uneven wear or cracking from age.
