2010 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · FL60 EJO

The Vauxhall Astra shows a contradictory roadworthiness picture at its most recent recorded examination. On 29 January 2022 at 133,853 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, yet on the very same date it also failed with no defects listed. This duplicated entry points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a clear mechanical trend, and with no tests logged since January 2022 the maintenance history cannot be classed as stable, worsening, or improving from current evidence. The odometer read 133,853 miles at the January 2022 test, equating to roughly 8,366 miles per year since the 2010 build. That figure sits within typical use for a sixteen-year-old family hatchback. The record shows no earlier entries and no later ones, so we cannot trace rapid accumulation or long standing periods; the sparse file simply confirms average annual cover with a four-year gap to today's date. A buyer should treat the 2022 same-day pass and fail as a warning to obtain the full DVSA test certificate and understand which station raised the failure. With no advisories logged for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the documented condition appears clean, but the absence of tests after January 2022 leaves structural integrity and exhaust emissions unverified for the last 54 months. Given the age and 133,853 miles, a physical inspection must check for worn suspension components, binding calipers, and underbody rust that a lapsed test cycle would otherwise catch. The duplicated 2022 result alone does not condemn the car, yet the four-year silence since means any in-service deterioration now rests entirely on the vendor's upkeep, not the MOT record.
