2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA10 BPE

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 124,694 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes and a single failure on 28 November 2025 at 124,609 miles that listed no defects, indicating the car was retested and cleared within days rather than requiring repair. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry from 2022 to 2025. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,800 per year against the 16-year age, a typical figure for this vehicle class. The records show steady accumulation: 104,523 miles in November 2022, 110,133 in November 2023, 115,593 in November 2024, and 124,694 by December 2025. The gap between the November 2024 and December 2025 tests spans just over twelve months and adds 9,101 miles, consistent with prior years. The sparse, clean record gives little insight into owner care beyond confirmation that the car met minimum test standards each time. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as the MOT history records no advisories that would reveal wear in these components. The November 2025 failure with zero listed defects suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, but the close retest means no independent fault was confirmed. Given the clean trail and absent corrosion or emissions flags, the Astra shows no evidence of recurring structural or mechanical risk. Verify underneath for rust on sills and subframes, and check tyre condition, as these consumables fall outside MOT pass criteria until worn beyond limits.
