2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA10 KLO

The 2010 Vauxhall Astra has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-07-21 at 74,892 miles, indicating that the vehicle is currently roadworthy, albeit with a couple of advisories noted. The maintenance trend appears to be generally stable, with the vehicle passing most of its MOT tests over the years, although there have been some recurring issues with oil leaks and worn suspension components. In the 2026 test, a power steering component had slight seepage and the rear axle swivel pins and bushes were slightly worn, which are issues that should be monitored. The mileage pattern of this vehicle is relatively low, with an average of approximately 4,681 miles per year, suggesting that the vehicle may have been used lightly or had periods of inactivity. There are no notable gaps in the mileage record, with tests taking place at roughly annual intervals, which implies a consistent usage pattern. The low mileage could mean that some components may not have been subjected to the same level of wear and tear as a higher mileage vehicle, but it also means that the vehicle may not have been driven enough to identify any potential issues that may only become apparent after extended use. The buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension components, particularly the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, as well as the power steering system, given the advisories noted in the most recent MOT test. Additionally, the history of oil leaks, although described as not excessive, warrants a closer look at the engine and its components to ensure that the issue is not worsening over time. The front exhaust system, which had a minor leak in the 2024 test, should also be checked to ensure that it is still in good condition. The vehicle's history of worn anti-roll bar linkages and a fractured coil spring in 2023 suggests that the suspension system may have been subjected to some stress or neglect in the past, and the buyer should be aware of this when evaluating the vehicle's condition. Overall, while the vehicle appears to be in generally good condition, a thorough inspection is necessary to identify any potential issues that may not be immediately apparent from the MOT record, and to verify that the vehicle is safe and reliable for continued use.
