2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN14 HZC

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 67,997 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2014 vehicle. From the 5 October 2021 test at 58,002 miles to the 29 October 2025 test at 67,997 miles, the car covered just 9,995 miles over four years, averaging under 2,500 miles annually. Annual increments stayed consistent: 3,462 miles to November 2022, 2,939 to November 2023, 2,119 to November 2024, and 1,475 to October 2025. The declining yearly distance suggests the car spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that often precedes perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres despite the clean MOT slate. No advisories or defects appear in any recorded test, so the DVSA data shows no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues requiring comment. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, since low-mileage cars left standing can develop hidden structural rust and seized calipers that a pass certificate will not reveal. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle minimally serviced to MOT standard without neglect. Verify service history and check for underbody corrosion before purchase, as the test outcomes alone confirm legal roadworthiness rather than mechanical condition.
