2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA10 PFO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final test conducted on 23 December 2021 at 112,389 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the Astra met all minimum legal safety standards at that time. While the history shows previous failures in 2019 and 2020, these were rectified immediately with subsequent passes, suggesting the owner was willing to address faults once identified by testers. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between November 2019 and December 2020, the car covered roughly 4,300 miles, showing a period of moderate use. However, there is a significant gap since the last recorded MOT in late 2021. As of June 2026, the vehicle has gone over four years without an official DVSA inspection, which significantly increases the risk regarding undetected degradation of rubber components, fluid leaks, or structural corrosion that may occur regardless of low mileage. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as Vauxhall models from this era are prone to surface and deep structural rust. Given the time elapsed since the last record, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to identify perished rubber or cracking. The brake system should be examined for binding calipers or corroded discs, as long periods of inactivity often lead to piston seizing and pitting on the braking surfaces that the outdated MOT record cannot account for.
