2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · CY60 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent test on 27 September 2023 at 128,225 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. This result indicates that the previous owner successfully addressed any mechanical concerns prior to the test deadline. While a failure occurred in early September 2022, the immediate pass two days later suggests a minor component replacement or a simple adjustment rather than a deep systemic mechanical failure or structural neglect. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 128,225 miles reflects an average usage of approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK light-use patterns. The data shows a steady accumulation of miles, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between the 2021 and 2022 tests and another 7,800 miles recorded before the 2023 inspection. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which often causes rubber components like suspension bushes to perish or brake calipers to seize due to lack of movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and lower suspension components, as these are the primary areas of concern for an Astra of this age. Despite the clean recent record, the age warrants a check for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe where rust typically originates. Given that the vehicle has gone three years since its last recorded MOT, a thorough check of the brake fluid lines and the condition of the shock absorbers is necessary to ensure no significant wear has developed since the September 2023 certification.
