2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DU14 AEF

This Vauxhall Astra presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 109,666 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single advisory or failure, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between February 2022 and January 2026, the odometer rose from 70,226 to 109,666 miles. The most significant jump occurred between February 2023 and February 2024, where the car covered 10,820 miles. Other intervals remained consistent, suggesting regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The absence of any recorded defects over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Usually, testers flag consumable wear such as thinning brake discs, worn suspension bushes, or tyre tread depth. The lack of such advisories suggests the previous owner likely performed preventative maintenance outside of the MOT process to ensure a clean test result. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as surface rust on the chassis or suspension mounting points does not always trigger a failure unless it compromises structural integrity. Checking the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement is essential, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine that the MOT test does not evaluate.
