2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · BG60 ACO

The vehicle presents a valid MOT pass from the 7 January 2026 examination at 158,928 miles with no defects recorded, establishing current roadworthy status. The maintenance trend across the supplied records stays mechanically stable, yet the prior test on 22 December 2025 at 158,735 miles failed with no defects logged, repeating an anomaly seen on 30 December 2024 at 153,200 miles where a fail and pass occurred same day with zero faults noted. Such patterns do not reveal worsening condition but demand verification of test rationale. The mileage trace begins in the supplied data with a pass on 3 January 2024 at 147,622 miles. By 30 December 2024 at 153,200 miles the odometer advanced only 5,578 miles across eleven months. The subsequent year to 22 December 2025 at 158,735 miles added a similar 5,535 miles, and a mere 193 miles separated that fail from the January 2026 pass. This recent rate sits below the lifetime average of roughly 9,900 miles per year, pointing to lighter use or prolonged standing that can promote underbody corrosion and perished rubber bushes despite modest mechanical wear. Prospective buyers should commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs given the car's sixteen-year age and 158,928 miles. The official record shows no advisories on these items, but high mileage Vauxhall Astras commonly develop wear in steering joints and exhaust emissions systems unseen without ramp access. The two failure entries carrying no recorded defects suggest previous owners faced administrative or presentation issues rather than neglected consumables; obtain the full DVSA test documents to confirm reasons. A pre-purchase check of caliper binding and corrosion around sills remains warranted.
