2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SB60 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of immediate MOT failures. The most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 139,862 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to ensure compliance, maintaining a consistent standard of operation over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. Between the December 2022 test at 109,249 miles and the December 2023 test at 123,218 miles, the car covered roughly 14,000 miles. Another 16,644 miles were recorded leading up to the most June 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which generally benefits mechanical components by preventing the seal degradation and corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. While the digital record shows clean passes, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection to verify the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Given the age of this Astra, attention should focus on potential corrosion in the sills, rear subframe, and exhaust mounting. The buyer should also check for wear on rubber suspension bushes and control arms, as these are common points of failure on vehicles of this mileage that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state.
