VAUXHALL ASTRA2010 · 1.6L Petrol

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 February 2026 at 90,790 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last several years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,674 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 2,386 miles added between January 2023 and January 2024, and 2,315 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. The most recent interval shows 2,571 miles added over a year. This consistent, low-volume usage suggests the car has not suffered from erratic ownership or sudden periods of heavy commercial use. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories for brake wear, suspension bushes, or corrosion across five years of testing. While the failure on 3 February 2025 was resolved immediately the following day, the record provides no specific data on what caused that failure. The lack of any mentioned defects suggests a well-maintained vehicle, but it also means the record offers no clues regarding typical age-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often perish during low-mileage ownership. Check for perished rubber seals, flat spots on tyres, and potential seizing of brake calipers due to underuse. Given the vehicle is 16 years old, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is necessary, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention the state of the underside beyond the pass results.
