2014 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · LC63 WGD

The 2025-08-26 MOT at 123,490 miles records a pass with no defects, indicating the Vauxhall Astra is presently roadworthy and the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Earlier failures in August 2025 and July 2024 also recorded no defects, suggesting the vehicle has not developed recurring mechanical faults. The mileage progression reflects typical usage for a 12‑year‑old model: the 2023 test at 106,264 miles rose to 109,098 miles by July 2024, a gain of 2,834 miles in one year, then accelerated to 122,447 miles by August 2025, an increase of 33,349 miles over eleven months, before the final test added only 1,043 miles in twenty‑three days. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and verify that the exhaust system meets emission limits, while also checking for any structural rust on the chassis and sills, as the record shows no documented defects but does not guarantee the condition of these critical components. The repeated passes after each mileage increase imply that previous owners maintained the vehicle adequately, yet the absence of recorded advisories means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden wear.
