2014 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a current pass certificate from the October 2024 test at 120,659 miles, with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the recent cycle. The October 2023 test at 110,670 miles produced both a fail and a pass on the same date with no defects logged, a peculiarity that does not itself signal mechanical deterioration but merits verification of the DVSA entry. Prior tests in October 2022 at 100,700 miles and October 2021 at 92,102 miles also passed cleanly. The pattern shows consistent annual testing with no advisories, suggesting the Astra has been kept to at least minimum roadworthiness standards. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 92,102 miles in October 2021, rising to 100,700 by October 2022, then 110,670 by October 2023, and 120,659 by October 2024. This equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year, marginally below the implied average. No significant gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse five-entry history covers only the last four years of testing, yet each shows a clean result aside from the unexplained fail. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and mileage, even though the MOT record flags no defects. The absence of advisories across consecutive tests may reflect diligent pre-test rectification, but corrosion on subframes and worn steering joints remain latent risks on a 2014 Astra. The duplicate 2023 entry with a fail yet no defects recorded demands scrutiny of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no omitted rectification work.
