2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · BG60 ACU

The 2010 Vauxhall Astra demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-13 at 100,381 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior test in December 2024 at 97,844 miles also passed, followed by a December 2023 test at 93,527 miles with no issues. A single failed test on 2023-12-19 at 93,526 miles is noted, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a potential administrative or procedural error. Overall, the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical concerns in the last three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,381 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 6,274 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with no prolonged gaps between assessments. The 2023-12-19 failure appears isolated, as subsequent tests resolved any underlying issues. The absence of defects in recent records indicates the owner likely addressed minor concerns promptly, though the sparse data limits insight into long-term wear patterns. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop over time. Structural integrity should also be verified, focusing on rust in high-corrosion areas like sills or underbody panels. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the 2023 failed test implies potential unrecorded minor faults that may require further investigation.
