2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA10 LRX

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 50,341 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing every MOT that proceeded to a full inspection. The two failure entries from 17 April 2026 and 13 June 2024 carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. No recurring advisories appear across the five-year span of records. The odometer shows 50,341 miles against a 2010 build date, averaging just 3,146 miles per year. In the 13 June 2024 test the car sat at 47,005 miles, rising only 256 miles by 9 May 2025 to 47,261 miles, then climbing 3,080 miles to the April 2026 pass. Such low and irregular accumulation suggests extended periods of storage between short local trips. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect, though standing time invites corrosion and perished rubber that a test sheet will not always capture. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for rust induced by inactivity. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for pitting after low-use winters. The exhaust and emissions system passed clean, but aged seals and hoses around the engine bay deserve a close look given sixteen years of service. The absence of advisories across the history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. Verify the two zero-defect failures were clerical, not concealed repairs, before purchase.
