2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · FN14 AEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 January 2026 at 64,635 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without mechanical faults, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,386 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between 30 January 2025 and 16 January 2026, where the odometer rose from 49,837 to 64,635 miles. This indicates a shift toward heavier use in the last year compared to the previous periods of lighter activity. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across several years. While the record shows two failures on 16 January 2024 and 23 January 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade during periods of low usage. Check for perished rubber seals, tyre cracking, and potential brake caliper seizure, as these issues frequently affect cars with low annual mileage but rarely appear in a basic MOT pass. Confirm that the oil and coolant are clean to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing.
