2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DV10 PKD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection on 14 January 2025 at 147,557 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just the previous day at 36 miles prior. This sequence suggests that a minor mechanical issue was rectified immediately to meet roadworthiness standards, indicating an owner who is proactive about maintaining the vehicle's legal status when prompted. The recorded mileage of 147,557 miles over 16 years averages to approximately 9,222 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 11,200 miles covered between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 8,541 miles between October 2023 and January 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to perished seals or seized components. While the most recent MOT records are clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Vauxhall Astra of this era. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and lateral arms is necessary as these components often degrade at this distance. The buyer should also inspect the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, as these areas are prone to surface and rust rust may not always be fully captured in a standard MOT until it becomes critical.
