2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · L21 SBY

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 59,440 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 16-year-old vehicle. The odometer rose from 50,611 miles at the 18 February 2022 test to 59,440 miles by February 2026, an accumulation of 8,829 miles over four years or roughly 2,207 miles per annum. No gaps or abrupt jumps appear in the intervals; each annual test sits between 1,600 and 2,700 miles apart. The DVSA history is sparse in faults, with every entry listing zero advisories or defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often masks moisture-related structural degradation that a static MOT bay check may not expose. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions warrant a hands-on review despite the clean passes. The absence of recorded advisories suggests previous owners addressed consumable wear promptly, but rubber components and silent bushes degrade with time irrespective of miles covered.
