2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · FG60 XTT

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 October 2025 at 97,404 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared every test that counted, though the October 2025 and October 2023 entries each show a failed attempt on the same date and mileage as the eventual pass, with no defects logged either time. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero recorded faults typically point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defect. Mileage has accumulated at a modest rate for a 2010 car. The record shows 85,770 miles in October 2023, 92,682 miles in October 2024, and 97,404 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,900 miles per year across the documented period, close to the 6,088 annual average for the vehicle's age. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean slate of advisories across all four years suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structure within test limits, though the sparse record leaves earlier life undocumented. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of advisories does not rule out worn suspension bushes, tired coil springs, or corroding subframes hidden beneath a passed test. Given the car is sixteen years old, structural integrity around sills and suspension mounts warrants close scrutiny for rust. Check brake discs and calipers for binding or lip wear, and verify tyre sidewalls and tread against the recorded low annual use. The same-day fail-pass pattern in 2023 and 2025 merits a question to the seller about the testing garage used, as repeated administrative fails can mask a careless presentation history even when the mechanical result is clean.
