Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for buyers seekin
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 1.4L engine has had regular oil and filter changes. As this is a black vehicle, inspect the paintwork carefully for swirl marks or stone chips that are common on darker finishes of this age. Use the mileage, which is slightly higher than the model average, as a point for negotiation if there is no evidence of recent major component replacement.
The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for a balance of urban efficiency and motorway capability, though it will be less economical than newer turbocharged or hybrid alternatives. Insurance groups for the Astra are generally mid-range, making it an affordable option for a wide variety of drivers.
Typical maintenance involves standard consumables, though older Astras can see increased costs for suspension components. Expect moderate annual expenditure on fuel, road tax, and routine servicing.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects in its recent history, you should still check for common Astra weak points. Inspect the headlamps for clouding and ensure all bulbs are functioning, and check the tyres for tread depth and even wear, as these are top failure reasons for this model.
Additionally, verify that the engine management light (EML) illuminates during the ignition sequence and then goes out; 'engine mil inoperative' is a frequent failure point in aggregate data for this model. Finally, check the condition of the brakes and discs, which are standard wear items at 91,000 miles.
This 2014 black Vauxhall Astra 1.4 petrol has recorded 91,470 miles as of January 2026. Its MOT history from 2024 to 2026 shows passes with no defects recorded, although it contains two instances of same-day fail and pass entries. It represents a standard example of this model with mileage slightly above the aggregate average.
The Astra maintains a respectable 78% average MOT pass rate across a vast dataset of nearly 800,000 vehicles, suggesting general reliability.
