2014 Vauxhall Astra Energy Cdti 1.7L Heavy oil · FXZ 7161

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 November 2025 at 59,857 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained clean record across the last seven tests indicates that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a high standard, avoiding the common mechanical and structural degradation typically seen in older diesel engines. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between February 2018 at 40,877 miles and November 2025 at 59,857 miles, the car covered just 19,000 miles. While there is a visible gap in the records between February 2020 and July 2022, the overall accumulation remains consistent with light-duty use. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related perish in rubber components and fluid degradation. While the MOT history is flawless, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues common to low-mileage cars. Focus on checking for perished rubber hoses, cracked suspension bushings, and aging tyres that may have suffered from dry-rot rather than wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to uneven braking. Given the vehicle's age, also verify the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed despite the lack of recorded structural failures.
