2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · NA14 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 July 2025 at 41,268 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to pass testing requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 3,439 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 32,931 miles and July 2025 at 41,268 miles, the vehicle covered only 8,337 miles. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on braking surfaces. The single failure on 16 August 2023 at 36,094 miles, followed immediately by a pass on the same day, suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly before the re-test, which does not indicate a systemic mechanical failure. Because the MOT record shows no specific advisories or recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking which often occurs when a car sits for extended periods. Examine the brake discs for heavy surface pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use can prevent the brakes from cleaning. Assessing the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points is essential to ensure the age of the vehicle has not led to hidden corrosion despite the low mileage figures.
