2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DY64 ABV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-19 assessment at 147,309 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating effective maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or failures suggest the car has been well-kept, though the absence of recorded issues does not eliminate the need for physical inspection of high-mileage components. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of 12,276 miles annually, exceeding typical averages for a 12-year-old vehicle. From 129,273 miles in 2021 to 147,309 miles in 2025, the car has seen no significant gaps in usage, implying regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. This pattern increases the likelihood of wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT history. The consistent testing intervals and clean record suggest the owner prioritised compliance over neglect. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points at this mileage, and check brake components for uneven disc wear or caliper binding. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was exposed to coastal or salted roads. While the MOT data confirms no active faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of mechanical components to verify their condition beyond recorded tests.
