2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · DL14 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-24 at 157,296 miles recorded a pass, but the same date shows a conflicting failure entry with no defects noted. This inconsistency complicates assessing its current roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 at progressively higher mileages (153,220–157,296) all passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the duplicate and contradictory 2025 records suggest potential data errors or unrecorded issues, warranting further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 157,296 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 13,108 miles annually, exceeding typical averages for its age. This high usage implies accelerated wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain parts. Annual MOTs since 2022 align with this pattern, but the lack of recorded defects in these tests does not confirm mechanical integrity—consumables like tyres or wiper blades may have been replaced without formal reporting. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Corrosion in underbody panels or exhaust emissions system integrity could also be concerns, despite no advisories in the records. The conflicting 2025 MOT data underscores the need for a pre-purchase inspection to verify unrecorded faults and confirm the vehicle’s structural soundness.
