2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DP10 CPF

The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 115,276 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing every twelve months since 2013, with the sole failure occurring in August 2017 at 79,687 miles due to rear brake pad thickness and nearside rear tyre wear. The vehicle has maintained roadworthiness throughout its history, and the latest inspection confirms no active mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and predictable, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year across the car's life. There are no significant gaps between tests or instances of rapid mileage jumps. From 2013 to 2015, the car logged approximately 14,000 miles, and the rate remained similar through 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which helps keep rubber components and suspension fluids within acceptable ranges. A buyer should focus on the recurring oil leaks noted in 2018 and 2024, which were minor but persistent. The 2024 test also flagged corrosion on the nearside and offside rear coil springs, a structural concern that warrants a physical check for rusted-through mounting points. The exhaust flexi pipe leak appeared in both 2022 and 2023, indicating a potential weak point in the exhaust system. While tyre wear and brake disc scoring noted in 2014 are expected consumable items at this mileage, the coil spring corrosion and exhaust flexi pipe issue require closer physical inspection before purchase.
