2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · CU64 TGE

The 2014 Vauxhall Astra demonstrates a stable mechanical trend, achieving a completely clean pass at its most recent assessment. On 26 September 2025, at 102,086 miles, the tester recorded zero defects. The maintenance trajectory remains consistent, with the preceding tests on 4 September 2024 at 92,788 miles and 22 August 2023 at 82,495 miles also passing without any recorded faults. The absence of recurring issues or escalating advisories suggests the vehicle has not suffered from chronic mechanical ailments. Mileage accumulation aligns precisely with the vehicle's age, reflecting typical annual usage. Between 22 August 2023 and 4 September 2024, the odometer advanced by 10,293 miles. The subsequent year, up to the 26 September 2025 test, saw a further 9,298 miles added. This consistent rate of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year indicates regular, sustained use rather than prolonged standing or high-stress short-hop driving. The data set is remarkably clean, entirely devoid of the minor advisories often seen on vehicles of this age. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent for a 102,000-mile vehicle. Buyers should scrutinise the condition of consumable components not explicitly detailed in the pass certificates. Check the brake discs and pads for wear, inspect the tyres for uneven tread degradation, and examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. The exhaust system warrants a close look for corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting points. While the official record implies diligent basic upkeep, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and the operation of the steering rack will confirm whether the car has genuinely avoided the typical wear patterns of a twelve-year-old family hatchback.
