2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA10 LXY

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 October 2025 at 48,953 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available data. The vehicle cleared the October 2023 test at 41,313 miles, then passed again in November 2024 at 45,289 miles, and passed once more in October 2025. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage. The recorded mileage of 48,953 against a 2010 build date equates to roughly 3,060 miles per year, which is low for a sixteen-year-old car. Between the October 2023 test and November 2024 test the car covered 3,976 miles, then added only 3,664 miles by October 2025. This gentle, consistent accumulation points to light use rather than neglect through disuse, though the sparse record leaves no visibility of interim servicing. Two failed entries on the same dates as the passes, both at 45,289 and 48,953 miles with no defects listed, suggest administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the absence of any advisory history to confirm wear levels. The clean MOT trail offers no warning on corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet sixteen years invite structural rust on sills and subframes that testers may not have probed. Verify the cambelt interval and fluid condition, as low mileage often masks overdue maintenance rather than reducing it.
