2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · AV10 CHD

The most recent MOT on 20 May 2026 was a clean pass at 15 421 mi, and the previous four years all show passes with no recorded defects. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has not presented any safety‑related faults that the test requires to be logged. Across the five‑year span the mileage has risen by just under 2 000 mi, averaging about 400 mi per year. For a 2010 model this is very low – roughly 964 mi per calendar year – which usually points to light use. However, such low figures can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which may allow seals to dry out or rust to develop unnoticed. The data alone cannot tell whether the car has been gently driven or largely stationary, so the wear signal is ambiguous. Because every MOT has been clean, the trend appears stable rather than worsening. There is no evidence of a growing problem, but the lack of recorded defects does not guarantee that hidden wear‑items (e.g., suspension bushings, brake pads, or timing belt/chain) are in good condition. The low mileage does mean fewer miles on consumables, but it also means the car may have been stored for stretches of time, which can affect rubber components and corrosion protection. For a buyer, the first things to inspect in person are: The condition of the tyres – tread depth, sidewall cracks and even wear.
