VAUXHALL ASTRA2010 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 29 October 2025 at 91,941 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure on the same day. This indicates that any mechanical issues identified by the tester were rectified immediately to meet compliance standards. The lack of advisories in the last three passes suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a functional standard without pressing deferred repairs. At 91,941 miles, this 16-year-old Astra reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 5,746 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump of 13,988 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, followed by a 3,756-mile interval in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This pattern suggests intermittent use rather than long periods of standing. While low-mile vehicles often suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, the record shows no history of high-stress wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension components. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is a common risk that MOT records cannot fully predict. The recurring failures in 2023 and 2025, which resulted in immediate passes, suggest minor component failures such as bulbs or sensors that were addressed quickly. Inspect the brakes for seized calipers and check the suspension bushes to ensure the low mileage has not masked age-related perished rubber.
