2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · GL14 ACF

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 5 August 2025 at 98,856 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over several years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has avoided the common degradation typical of this model. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's twelve-year age. It covered 16,383 miles between August 2022 and August 2023, followed by a similar increase to 94,276 miles by July 2024. The most recent interval shows a slight decrease in annual usage, adding 4,580 miles over the last year. These figures indicate regular, moderate use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The record shows a technical anomaly on 22 July 2024, where the vehicle failed and passed within two miles. Since no specific defects were listed for either entry, this likely represents a clerical error by the tester rather than a mechanical failure. The total absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions over the last three years is unusual for a car of this vintage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for oil leaks around the engine head gasket and inspect the condition of the timing belt, as these service items do not appear on MOT records. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the lack of corrosion flags, a manual check of the tyre depths and brake pad thickness is advised to ensure consumables are not nearing their limit before the next test.
