2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · WM64 SZP

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-09 recorded a single failure: the offside headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii)). This is a minor safety issue but requires immediate attention. No other defects were noted in this test, and the vehicle passed the same day with a clean result, suggesting the failure was isolated and likely a simple repair. The MOT history from 2022 to 2024 shows consistent passes with no recorded defects. The 2025 failure appears to be an anomaly rather than part of a broader trend. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or escalating problems, indicating the vehicle’s condition has remained stable over the past four years. The recorded mileage of 47,312 miles for a 12-year-old vehicle is low, averaging 3,943 miles per year. This suggests the car may have seen light use or periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like dry rot, fluid degradation, or electrical faults. However, the lack of defects in prior MOTs implies the vehicle has not suffered significant wear despite the low mileage. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the headlamp and associated wiring for proper function.
