Our Verdict
A sensible choice for high-mileage drivers seeking efficiency. This Astra shows a consistent MOT record with low mileage, making it a strong candidate within its age.
When inspecting this Astra, verify the service history to ensure the 1956cc diesel engine has been maintained at regular intervals, as these engines benefit from consistent oil changes. Since the vehicle failed its last MOT in January 2026 at 86,622 miles before passing the very next day, ask the seller exactly what defect caused the failure and if any mechanical components were replaced during that visit.
Check for typical wear on the interior seats and steering wheel, which can sometimes contradict the odometer reading. Given the mileage is relatively low for the year, look for any signs of short-trip use, such as carbon buildup, which can affect diesel engines if they are not used for long motorway drives.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering lower running costs for those with high annual mileage. You can expect competitive fuel economy compared to smaller petrol variants, though the tax band and insurance group will vary based on the specific trim and driver profile.
Maintenance costs for the Vauxhall Astra are generally affordable with parts widely available. Estimate your annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing, at approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Pay close attention to the January 2026 MOT failure; although the vehicle passed the following day, the specific reason for the failure (such as a tyre, bulb, or brake issue) should be identified to ensure it wasn't a symptom of a larger problem. Inspect the underside for any oil leaks, which are common in older Vauxhall diesel engines.
Check the clutch operation and gearbox, as the 2.0L torque can put strain on these components if driven primarily in city traffic. Ensure the tyres have even tread, as the low mileage suggests they may have aged more than they have worn.
This 2014 Vauxhall Astra features a 2.0L diesel engine and has covered 86,622 miles, which is significantly below the typical average for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The MOT history is clean, with four consecutive passes since 2023 and only one minor failure in January 2026 that was immediately rectified. The vehicle presents as a well-used but mechanically consistent option for long-distance commuting.
No aggregate data is available for this specific model, but the 2.0 CDTI engine is generally considered a robust powerplant if maintained properly.
