VAUXHALL ASTRA2010 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing an improving maintenance trend following previous mechanical failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 June 2025 at 105,578 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the owner has successfully addressed the issues identified in prior years, bringing the Astra into a state of full technical compliance as of the last annual test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 4,660 miles, while it added 5,152 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This low-mileage profile generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals due to longer periods of shorter use. While the most recent test is clean, the failures in 2023 and 2024 suggest the vehicle is prone to specific faults that require periodic attention. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on older Vauxhall models. Particular attention should also be paid to structural corrosion on the underside sills and exhaust system to ensure that the recent passes are not masking developing surface rust that could accelerate as the vehicle enters its seventeenth year.
