Our Verdict
This is a sensible used buy for a low-mileage 2010 Vauxhall Astra, with a largely clean MOT record. The only caution is a 2024 MOT failure with no defects recorded, which warrants a check of the test centre's notes before purchase.
Before buying, ask the seller for the reason behind the 2024-08-05 MOT failure where no defects were recorded — this sometimes indicates an administrative issue or a retest after a minor fault was corrected, and the 2024-08-14 pass nine days later at 30,909 miles suggests it was quickly resolved. Request full service history for this 1598cc petrol model, as consistent maintenance is key on a car of this age. Negotiate on price if the service record is incomplete, given the vehicle is 15 years old and no model-level reliability data exists to reassure buyers.
As a 1.6-litre petrol Vauxhall Astra from 2010, this car should fall into a modest road tax band and a low-to-mid insurance group typical of the era, keeping fixed costs reasonable. Fuel economy on the 1598cc petrol unit is average for a small family car, and maintenance parts are widely available and inexpensive due to the model's popularity in the UK. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance is around £900-£1,100.
Inspect the vehicle in person and confirm the reason for the 2024-08-05 MOT failure with no defects recorded, as the MOT history does not specify any fault type — obtain the failure notice from the seller or DVSA. Check the bodywork on this black example for stone chips and corrosion common on 2010-era Vauxhalls, especially around wheel arches and sills, even though recent MOTs recorded no defects. Verify the mileage progression is genuine given the low figures (29,437 in 2022, 40,843 in 2025) and look for supporting service stamps or invoices.
The black 1.6-litre petrol Vauxhall Astra (SA60AAF) first registered in September 2010 shows 40,843 miles on its most recent 2025 MOT, which is below average for a 15-year-old car. Its MOT history includes four passes with no defects and one failure in August 2024 at 30,907 miles where no defects were recorded. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment rests on the individual history provided.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Astra, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
