2014 Vauxhall Cascada 1.6L Petrol · SA14 YNO

The Vauxhall Cascada presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 50,902 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with the three most recent annual tests clearing cleanly. Prior to this, the vehicle failed on 7 May 2025 at 50,901 miles and again on 18 November 2023 at 49,544 miles, yet both failures carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentational issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a 2014-registered vehicle. At the November 2023 test the odometer read 49,563 miles; by November 2024 it had risen only to 50,591, a 1,028-mile annual gain. The May 2025 pass at 50,902 miles shows a further 311 miles in six months. Over twelve years the car averaged roughly 4,242 miles per year, with long stationary periods likely. Such low accumulation limits wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components, though prolonged standing invites corrosion and perished rubber. The absence of any advisories across the clean tests means no recurring mechanical or structural concerns are flagged in the official record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizure, as low-mileage cars left unused often develop hidden rust and stale fluid. The twin no-defect failures in 2023 and 2025 warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA entries before purchase.
