Vauxhall Astra Gtc Sri Cdti S/s (2014)
2014 Vauxhall Astra Gtc Sri Cdti S/s
CarHunch analysed 194 real MOT records for the 2014 Vauxhall Astra Gtc Sri Cdti S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 Astra GTC diesel struggles to meet the national standard, with a first-time pass rate of 70% against the UK average of 80%. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, but the 0.68 average failures per vehicle suggests persistent minor issues that buyers should budget for at MOT time.
With a median mileage of 78,470 miles for a ten-year-old car, these vehicles have been driven moderately and aren't worn out early. The zero advisories flagged is unusual and suggests either that testers are only recording failures or that minor wear isn't showing up yet—either way, get a pre-purchase inspection to understand the real condition of the gearbox and diesel engine before committing.
What to check before buying a 2014 Vauxhall Astra Gtc Sri Cdti S/s
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
