2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DF14 TLU

This 2014 Vauxhall Astra has covered roughly 116,594 miles, which averages to about 9,700 miles per year. This is typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a standard balance of wear across the drivetrain and suspension rather than extreme heavy use or excessive periods of sitting idle. The most recent MOT from December 2025 was a pass, but the history shows a recurring pattern of neglected maintenance regarding lighting and consumables. There is a persistent trend of failing on registration plate lamps and position lamps, which appear to be recurring issues across multiple years. While these are minor electrical faults, they suggest a lack of proactive upkeep. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be slightly worsening in terms of mechanical complexity. While previous failures were largely limited to tyres and light bulbs, the most recent inspection identified a worn stabilizer bar inner bush. This indicates that the suspension components are beginning to show age-related wear, moving beyond simple bulb replacements into more substantive mechanical repairs. The mileage is consistent with the age, so you should not expect any "hidden" low-mileage surprises, but you should prepare for standard wear on consumables. Before purchasing, you should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking for knocks or play in the stabilizer bars and other bushes.
