2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · DS64 FNU

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT record. The most recent test in October 2025 at 47,820 miles passed with no defects recorded, and this pattern of fault-free tests extends back through each annual inspection since October 2021. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and positive, with no recurring advisories or structural warnings to indicate any developing mechanical or corrosion issues. The mileage pattern is consistent and low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,985 miles per year. The recorded increments between tests are even, showing annual usage of between 1,298 and 2,339 miles, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps that might suggest odometer tampering or long periods of inactivity. This steady, low-mileage history typically indicates a vehicle used for local journeys or as a second car, rather than heavy commuting. Given the pristine MOT history, a buyer’s pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that naturally degrade with age rather than mileage. Check the condition of all rubber suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for cracking or perishing. Inspect the brake discs for lipping or corrosion, particularly if the car has stood unused for extended periods. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often lack the regular heat cycles that dry out moisture. Finally, verify the service history to confirm that engine oil and coolant changes have been carried out on a time-based schedule, not just mileage intervals.
