2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L Diesel · FL60 UGN

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded on 27 December 2025 at 131,339 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, as the two prior full tests in December 2023 at 130,281 miles and December 2022 at 115,725 miles also returned passes with no advisories. A single failure on 25 November 2023 at 129,988 miles carries no listed defects, indicating the car was likely presented without a required item or paperwork rather than suffering a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging around 8,200 miles per year. The records show a steady climb from 104,094 miles in December 2021 to 115,725 in December 2022, then a larger jump to 129,988 by November 2023. The gap between the November 2023 failure and the December 2025 pass covers only 351 miles, suggesting the car saw minimal use or stood idle for long periods over the final two years. The sparse MOT history offers no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion across any test. Absence of advisories does not confirm component health, only that the tester found nothing reportable on the day. A buyer should still inspect for perished rubber mounts, binding calipers, and underbody rust given the age and the low recent mileage that can mask seized linkages. Prior ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current, though the 2023 failure with no defects hints at a lapse in presentation rather than neglect of consumables. Given the clean record, focus a physical inspection on tyre sidewall cracking from standing, flat-spotted tyres, and stale brake fluid rather than recurring mechanical faults.
