2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FH10 KVG

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded on 6 November 2025 at 128,987 miles. The most recent test shows no defects, and the prior three annual tests also passed without advisories. The maintenance record indicates consistent statutory testing and no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,062 miles, typical for a 2010 vehicle. The records show 109,839 miles in September 2022, rising to 116,392 by November 2023, 123,285 by November 2024, and 128,987 by November 2025. This reflects steady yearly use of around 6,000 to 7,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation or long dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no advisories logged at any stage, which suggests basic upkeep kept pace with test requirements. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's sixteen-year age and 128,987 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet test cleans at this mileage do not confirm hidden wear in subframes or sills. Verify the 6 November 2025 failure with no recorded defects was an administrative reversal on the same day rather than a concealed fault. Pre-purchase checks should include exhaust emissions under load and binding calipers at the rear, as these items escape MOT capture without tester observation. The absence of recurring advisories implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test, but independent verification of tyre sidewall condition and wiper function remains prudent.
