2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FL60 DXM

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing on 3 May 2025 at 116,508 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The only blemish is an administrative failure on the same date as the pass, with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or processing issue rather than a mechanical concern. Recorded mileage sits at 116,508 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 7,282 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The gap between 20 May 2024 at 106,171 miles and 18 July 2022 at 106,161 miles shows the car covered just 10 miles across two years, suggesting prolonged storage or a statuary test without use. A further 10,337 miles were added by May 2025, a modest annual return to service. The DVSA record shows no corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust issues across any test. Previous keepers appear to have kept the car to a basic but sufficient standard, with no skipped consumable replacements flagged. The same-day fail and pass in 2025 and 2022 point to test centre admin rather than owner neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes given the 16-year age and low-use period. Standing time can mask perishing rubber and seized calipers not caught in a clean MOT. Verify the 2025 failure reason at the test centre to confirm it was procedural before purchase.
