2014 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · SL14 SXC

The Astra's most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 151,074 miles passed with no defects recorded, but the same test date shows a failed entry without defects. This discrepancy suggests a potential administrative error or clerical mistake in the MOT record, rather than a genuine mechanical issue. The previous test in June 2024 at 133,120 miles also passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no major structural or mechanical concerns flagged in the record. The mileage pattern shows a consistent annual accumulation of around 12,590 miles, which is high for a vehicle of this age. The most recent test in September 2025 covers just 17,954 miles since the previous test in June 2024, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This could indicate a period of reduced use or a long period standing. The data is otherwise clean, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly but not excessively. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for any signs of suspension wear, particularly focusing on the condition of the bushes and coil springs. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee the suspension is faultless, but it suggests it has been well-maintained. The brakes should also be checked for any signs of wear or binding, as high mileage can accelerate brake pad and disc wear. The structural integrity of the vehicle should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the wheel arches and undercarriage. The exhaust system should be inspected for any signs of leaks or damage, as high mileage can lead to increased wear on the exhaust components.
