2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FH10 LGN

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 1 March 2025 at 93,582 miles and no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, as every pass and fail entry shows a nil defect record. The repeated same-day fail and pass pairs in March 2023 at 85,687 miles and March 2025 at 93,582 miles indicate administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, so no worsening condition appears in the data. The odometer sat at 85,687 miles for the March 2023 test, rose to 88,680 miles by February 2024, and reached 93,582 miles by March 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles in the first interval and under 5,000 in the second, well below the 5,849 annual average for the car's age. Low yearly use across sixteen years suggests light running, though the identical mileage on the fail and pass dates confirms the car was not driven between those entries. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across any test. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as MOT nil-defect outcomes on a 2010 vehicle do not rule out latent rust in sills or subframes. Standing periods implied by the low mileage can accelerate perished rubber components such as drop links or coil spring seats even when the tester logged nothing. Verify the braking system and exhaust emissions in person, and confirm the March 2025 fail was purely procedural by checking the DVSA failure reason. Given the absent advisories, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current, but a 16-year-old Astra merits a ramp check before purchase.
