2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · NL14 MDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 April 2025 with 105,918 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent as the car has maintained no recorded defects across the last three successful tests. While the record shows failures immediately prior to passes in both 2024 and 2025, these likely represent minor issues that were rectified quickly before the retest rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 74,145 miles and April 2024 at 91,396 miles, the car covered over 17,000 miles in a single year, indicating a period of high usage. However, the usage slowed significantly to roughly 14,500 miles between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests. This suggests a regular driving pattern that typically prevents the stagnation-related degradation of seals and braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and brake system, as the vehicle has now crossed the 100,000-mile threshold. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, components of this era are often prone to wear in rubber suspension bushes and fatigue in the coil springs. Given the age and mileage, checking the structural integrity of the chassis around wheel arches and sills is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the last clean record.
