2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · YN64 AEY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test on 30 August 2023 at 117,106 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency suggests the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage is typical for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 9,759 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2020 test at 97,243 miles and the August 2021 test at 103,912 miles shows steady usage. A slight increase in annual mileage occurred between 2021 and 2022, with the vehicle covering 8,370 miles in that period. The record shows no evidence of long periods of standing or erratic usage patterns. A buyer should be aware that the MOT history is now significantly outdated, as the last recorded test was nearly three years ago. While the record is clean, the absence of data between August 2023 and July 2026 means the current mechanical state is unknown. The vehicle may have missed recent annual inspections, which creates a gap in the documented maintenance trail. Physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this model and mileage. Check for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are typical failure points for older Astras. Examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the depth of the tyre treads, since these consumables will have aged since the 2023 test. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt replacements align with the manufacturer's intervals.
