2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DU64 RFZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The February 2026 test at 98,223 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests since early 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,185 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 88,012 miles in January 2023 to 98,223 miles in February 2026. A brief failure recorded on February 13, 2024, at 95,874 miles was immediately rectified, as evidenced by the pass on the same day at 95,875 miles. This indicates a minor, non-structural issue was identified and resolved during the testing process. While the MOT history shows no significant trends in structural corrosion or suspension wear, the mileage suggests the vehicle has reached a stage where higher-wear components require closer scrutiny. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show wear around the 100,000-mile mark. The buyer should also verify the service history to complement the MOT data. Since the MOT records do not flag issues with brake discs, calipers, or exhaust emissions, the vehicle appears mechanically sound from a regulatory standpoint. However, checking for any signs of minor oil leaks or uneven tyre wear will provide a more complete picture of the vehicle's actual mechanical health beyond the basic DVSA requirements.
