2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN60 MFO

The Vauxhall Astra presents a broadly roadworthy status as of the most recent test, with the September 2025 examination at 180,191 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the same-date failure and pass on 17 September 2025 is irregular and points to an administrative or minor pre-test correction rather than a mechanical decline. Prior annual tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 each passed cleanly with no advisories logged. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2010 vehicle, rising from 128,470 miles at the September 2022 test to 145,759 by October 2023, then 162,639 in September 2024, and 180,191 in September 2025. That equates to roughly 17,000 miles in the final year, slightly above the long-term average of 11,262, but the progression shows no standing periods or sudden gaps. The DVSA record is sparse on faults, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged across the five entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear given the 16-year age and 180,191 miles. The clean MOT trail offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn coil springs, or failing test items, yet testers only assess on the day. Check underneath for chassis rust, verify tyre tread depth and wiper condition, and confirm the brake system operates without binding given the higher recent annual use. The duplicated 2025 test entry with an immediate pass suggests the previous owner addressed whatever prompted the failure promptly. No recurring problems emerge from the data, so the Astra's history implies reasonable basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance.
