2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · AF60 TRV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 17 February 2025 at 96,785 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The prior failure on 10 February 2025 at the same mileage is anomalous; the tester logged no defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, and the vehicle passed one week later without rectification needed. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,049 miles per year. The record shows 90,567 miles at the March 2024 test, rising to 96,785 by February 2025, a modest 6,218 miles in eleven months. A notable gap exists between August 2022 (83,873 miles) and March 2024 (90,567 miles), with no test logged in that window; the August 2022 failure at 83,778 miles also recorded no defects, suggesting another non-mechanical rejection. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's sixteen-year age and the limited test data. The absence of advisories does not rule out incipient corrosion on structural members or worn exhaust hangers hidden from the tester's view. Verify the body underside and subframes for rust, and confirm the August 2022 and February 2025 failures were paperwork-related rather than concealed faults later cleared without record.
