2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · BW14 HPA

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 26 August 2025 at 135,508 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows no defects, and prior annual examinations returned similarly clear results. No escalating faults or unresolved advisories appear in the DVLA data. Recorded mileage rose from 113,359 in the 1 September 2023 test to 130,798 by 2 September 2024, then to 135,508 at the August 2025 pass. That equates to roughly 17,400 miles in the first interval and 4,710 in the second, against a 12-year average near 11,300 per year. The history is sparse but clean; two paired fail-and-pass entries on the same dates in 2023 and 2025 carry no listed defects, implying administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 135,508 miles and 12-year age. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet high-mileage Vauxhall Astras commonly develop worn trailing arm bushes and tired dampers unseen in a pass result. Verify the duplicated fail entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data. Check exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person, as these consumables fall outside the sparse test commentary but degrade with use.
