2010 Vauxhall Astra Exclusiv 98 1.4L Petrol · BRZ 3665

The 2024‑12‑19 MOT at 116,123 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record; earlier failures in late 2024 also showed no defects, suggesting no worsening trend. The mileage has risen steadily from 73,147 miles in May 2017 to 116,123 miles by December 2024, averaging about 7,258 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 16‑year‑old vehicle. Gaps between tests are modest, and the sharp increase of 738 miles in the final 25 days of 2024 points to recent intensified use rather than neglect. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that rear brake calipers move freely and that brake discs show no scoring or excessive wear, and examine the chassis for structural rust, especially around wheel arches and the subframe. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and proper emission levels, as these components often reveal hidden deterioration despite a clean MOT. Overall, the vehicle presents a consistent maintenance history with no recorded defects, but a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension, braking, structural integrity and exhaust condition is essential before purchase.
