2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DP14 EAA

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 74,440 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations since late 2022. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,203 miles against the vehicle's 12-year life, reflecting light use for a 2014 hatchback. The records show 62,036 miles in December 2022, rising to 67,343 by December 2023, then 70,440 in October 2024 and 74,440 in September 2025. A failed test on 6 December 2023 at 67,324 miles preceded the pass one day later at 67,343 miles, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either outcome, suggesting an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, defect-free history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the absence of advisory data to confirm wear levels. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant checks, as twelve years of service can hide rust where testers logged nothing. The clean record implies conscientious prior ownership, but the December 2023 fail-with-no-defect pairing deserves clarification at point of sale.
