2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DN10 VDD

The 2010 Vauxhall Astra holds a roadworthy status following the most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 134,365 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend is stable, as every examination since December 2021 closed without advisory notices. The DVSA log also shows a failure on the identical date and mileage with no defects cited, pointing to an administrative retry rather than a mechanical fault. Odometer reading of 134,365 miles over sixteen years averages near 8,400 miles per year, typical for the model age. From the 3 December 2021 test at 114,404 miles to the 18 November 2022 test at 119,551 miles, the car added 5,147 miles in eleven months. A longer gap to 31 May 2024 saw 130,093 miles, a rise of 10,542 across eighteen months. By 24 March 2026 the clock reached 134,365, just 4,272 miles in twenty months, showing reduced recent use. The history is sparse but clean, with no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake defects flagged at any stage. A buyer should still inspect typical age-related wear not exposed by a clear test. The tester never raised coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity, yet a sixteen-year-old chassis may conceal superficial rust or degraded suspension bushes. Check exhaust emissions for internal decay and confirm calipers are free of binding. Previous owners met minimum MOT standards without advisories, so physical verification of tyre tread and wiper blades remains sensible. The duplicate 2026 entries warrant a question to the seller on the failure reason, though no defect data exists to signal deeper risk.
