2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DK02 AJK

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent test on February 3, 2026, at 75,546 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, suggesting a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,722 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 2,479 miles added between February 2023 and January 2024, and 1,612 miles added between February 2025 and February 2026. This low usage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters. The absence of any advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle. While the record shows no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the low mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity. Perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or battery degradation are common in cars that spend long periods standing. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and fluids to ensure they have not aged out despite low tread wear. Check for signs of surface rust on the chassis and underbody, as the MOT record does not indicate any structural failures but cannot account for preventative rust treatment. Verify the service history to confirm that oil changes occurred regardless of the low annual mileage.
