2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Diesel · FM14 CTF

The Vauxhall Astra shows a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT from 25 September 2025 at 170,152 miles, though the same-day failure with no defects logged points to an administrative retry rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of records. No advisories or defects appear in any test from 2023 through 2025, indicating the car cleared each examination on structural integrity, brakes, suspension, and emissions without flagged wear. Mileage stands at 170,152 on a 2014 car, an average of roughly 14,179 per year and high for its age. The record tracks 150,207 miles at the 4 September 2023 test, 163,201 at 5 September 2024, and 170,152 at 25 September 2025. Annual accumulation ran 12,994 then 6,951, showing a slowdown in use over the last year. The clean test history with no gaps gives limited insight into component condition, but the high total suggests consumables have cycled several times. A buyer should still inspect brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes in person given the mileage. Coil springs and steering joints warrant a hands-on check for fatigue not visible in a pass result. Exhaust and underbody corrosion should be examined on a ramp, as the tester recorded no advisories but 12-year-old Vauxhalls commonly develop structural rust. The repeated same-day fail-pass pairs at 163,201 and 170,152 miles imply clerical error at the testing station, not owner neglect. Previous keepers kept the car tested yearly with no recorded defects, suggesting basic statutory upkeep was met. Confirm service history to verify fluids, timing belt, and clutch wear absent from MOT data.
