2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FL60 EYX

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded on 15 June 2023 at 162,267 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available records, with no escalating faults, corrosion issues, or recurring mechanical advisories flagged by testers. Two prior failures in June 2022 and June 2023 both listed no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than latent mechanical condition problems. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2010 vehicle. The car covered 12,126 miles between the June 2021 test at 138,141 miles and the June 2022 test at 150,247 miles, then a further 11,861 miles to the June 2023 pass at 162,267 miles. That averages roughly 10,142 miles per year across its life, with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods evident in the data. The record is sparse but clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity at any stage. The repeated no-defect failures on 11 June 2022 and 5 June 2023 warrant scrutiny. A failed test with zero recorded defects suggests the vehicle may have been presented without a required document, or the failure was overturned on retest within days under identical mileage, implying the initial rejection was procedural. A buyer should verify the nature of those failures via the full DVSA failure reason codes before purchase. Given the absence of flagged wear on consumables or mechanical components across 24,000 miles of testing, the Astra appears to have received basic upkeep. At 162,267 miles and 16 years old, a physical inspection should still target front coil springs, rear trailing arm bushes, and subframe corrosion, as these are common untested failure points on high-mileage Vauxhall Astras that may not yet have reached advisory threshold.
