2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · LS14 LJV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 2 September 2025 at 98,363 miles. While the record shows a technical failure on that same date, the immediate pass without subsequent recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or component issue was rectified before the retest. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without recurring advisories across the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a car of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the data between October 2022 at 59,647 miles and January 2024 at 78,097 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in fourteen months. The more recent accumulation of 13,146 miles between August 2024 and September 2025 indicates regular annual use, which generally puts predictable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to long periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the common Vauxhall Astra wear points that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Inspect the subframe for structural corrosion and check the rubber wish arm bushes for cracking, as these often degrade over time. Since the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, verify the condition of fluid leaks and the state of the brake discs and hoses to ensure the clean mileage history has not masked underlying mechanical neglect.
