2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · BJ60 EEF

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-03 recorded several defects, including a damaged offside mirror, an inoperative registration plate lamp, an oil leak, and tyres worn close to legal limits. The vehicle passed this test, but the presence of these issues indicates ongoing maintenance needs. A prior failure on 2025-11-24 highlighted similar concerns, including exhaust emissions exceeding limits, multiple lighting faults, and a worn anti-roll bar linkage. These recurring defects suggest persistent problems with the vehicle’s lighting systems, exhaust, and tyre condition. A major failure in 2024-11-22 revealed severe brake wear, with front discs significantly worn and lipped, and brake pads below 1.5 mm. This was accompanied by an exhaust leak and under-inflated tyres. Subsequent passes in 2024 and 2023 noted tyre wear and minor corrosion, but no major safety risks. The pattern shows a trend of increasing brake and exhaust-related issues, alongside consistent tyre wear, which may reflect neglect or heavy use. However, the vehicle has also passed recent tests, indicating some corrective actions were taken. The recorded mileage of 107,521 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 6,720 miles per year, which is typical for its age.
