2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FJ10 NTX

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 12 November 2025 at 122,200 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though it followed a failure on 8 October 2025 at 122,071 miles where the tester logged no specific defects, indicating the car was likely presented with a minor administrative or non-mechanical issue and promptly retested. Prior to that, the vehicle passed without fault in November 2024 at 120,304 miles, October 2023 at 117,492 miles, and November 2022 at 99,983 miles. The odometer reflects about 7,638 miles per year against the car's 16-year life, a typical usage rate for a 2010 hatchback. The record shows a pronounced mileage jump of roughly 17,500 miles between the November 2022 and October 2023 tests, then a steady annual climb of two to three thousand miles thereafter. No long standing periods or missing test years appear in the data, and the sparse advisory history suggests the previous keeper addressed wear items before each examination rather than accumulating outstanding faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained October 2025 failure with zero recorded defects. The DVSA entry offers no clue whether the rejection concerned corrosion, emissions, or a documentation mismatch, so verifying structural integrity underneath the sills and subframes remains sensible on a sixteen-year-old Vauxhall. Check the service paperwork to confirm the retest cause and confirm consumables such as tyres and wiper blades match the clean MOT profile. The absence of advisories across five tests implies competent upkeep, but the single failure so close to the pass warrants a direct question to the seller on what was corrected.
