2010 Vauxhall Astra Exclusiv 98 1.4L Petrol · BRZ 2639

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 2026-02-21 at 175,088 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This outcome suggests a stable maintenance trend over the past year, with no notable issues flagged by the tester. The overall maintenance history indicates a consistent record of passing tests, with the most recent failure occurring in 2019, over seven years ago. The recorded mileage of 175,088 miles at 16 years old equates to approximately 10,943 miles per year, which is roughly typical for its age. Notable gaps in the mileage record are scarce, but a significant increase in mileage occurred between 2017 and 2019, with the vehicle's mileage rising from 49,754 to 69,698 miles over just two years. This rapid accumulation of mileage may indicate more frequent or intense use during this period. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering components, as the 2019 test failure highlighted worn-out suspension bushes, which were likely contributing to a binding rear brake condition. The tester flagged this issue, but it appears to have been addressed by the time of the 2026 test. However, the buyer should still verify the condition of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and steering components to ensure they are in good working order. Additionally, a thorough examination of the brake system is recommended, including the condition of the brake discs, pads, and calipers, to confirm they are functioning correctly and not showing signs of excessive wear or corrosion. The buyer should also inspect the vehicle's exhaust system, as the 2019 test failure highlighted a potential issue with exhaust emissions. Although this was not a major defect, it may indicate underlying problems with the engine or exhaust system that should be investigated further. A visual inspection of the vehicle's bodywork and structural integrity is also recommended to identify any signs of rust or corrosion, particularly around the suspension and steering components.
