2014 Vauxhall Astra Sri Cdti Ecoflex S/s

CarHunch analysed 199 real MOT records for the 2014 Vauxhall Astra Sri Cdti Ecoflex S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2014 Astra diesel is struggling at the MOT compared to the UK average—a 68% first-time pass rate versus 80% nationally means nearly one in three fail their test, and while dangerous defects aren't appearing, the 57% of vehicles averaging at least one failure per test suggests mechanical issues are commonplace for this age and mileage.

At 88,000 miles on average, these cars are mid-range for a ten-year-old model, but the near-zero advisory count is unusual and suggests testers are documenting failures rather than warnings—a buyer should budget for repairs and run a pre-purchase inspection before committing, particularly around the diesel engine and transmission components that typically rack up failures on this generation.

What to check before buying a 2014 Vauxhall Astra Sri Cdti Ecoflex 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.
