2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · FP59 NMF

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy based on its final recorded test, though the certificate has since expired. In the 18 November 2024 examination at 97,041 miles, the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. Relative to today's date of 14 July 2026, that assessment is nineteen months old and the annual MOT has lapsed. The maintenance trend is stable across five consecutive annual passes from October 2020, with no worsening faults or advisories. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 16-year-old car. Between the 26 October 2020 test at 81,590 miles and the 18 November 2024 test at 97,041 miles, the odometer advanced 15,451 miles across four intervals, averaging 3,863 miles per year. This figure sits below the roughly 6,065 miles per annum norm for the model year. The owner kept intervals tight, never exceeding thirteen months between appointments, which signals disciplined care rather than deferred maintenance. No MOT entry flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. The clean ledger implies previous keepers addressed consumable wear before each test and preserved structural integrity. A buyer should still inspect typical age-related items in person. On a 2010 Astra, we advise scrutinising subframe and sill corrosion, front lower arm bushes, and rear axle mounts under the car. Test brake disc wear and caliper slide operation despite the absence of advisories. Confirm exhaust hangers and catalyst condition. The unblemished history reduces risk but does not replace a hands-on inspection before purchase.
