2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · DP10 KZR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a period of inconsistent testing preparation. The most recent MOT test in September 2021 at 117,511 miles passed with no defects recorded, suggesting the car was in a compliant condition at that time. However, the failures in August 2021 and September 2020 without recorded defects imply the previous owner struggled with scheduling or failed to rectify minor issues prior to the appointment. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-use figures for its age, averaging approximately 7,344 miles per year. There is a gap of roughly 12,000 miles between the April 2019 and September 2020 tests, while another 16,000 miles were covered between September 2020 and September 2021. Given that the current date is June 18, 2026, the lack of any recorded MOT data for the last five years is a significant concern, as it leaves no evidence of the structural integrity or the state of rubber components during this extended period. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the Astra, particularly the sills and rear mounting points where corrosion is common on this generation. Because the record is dry for five years, the tester should check for perished suspension bushes, cracked brake hoses, and seized caliper pistons that occur from standing rather than use. Examine the brake discs for heavy pitting or surface rust, as the low annual mileage does not guarantee the mechanical health of the drivetrain if the vehicle sat stationary for long intervals.
