2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L Diesel · GH05 TGC

The 2010 VAUXHALL ASTRA has a current roadworthiness rating of NOT PASSING . The MOT record from 2025-08-05 at 123,614 miles confirms a failure in the rear suspension arm pin or bush, which is a critical structural risk requiring immediate attention. The most recent test was passed on 2024-04-03 at 112,501 miles , indicating that the previous owner maintained the vehicle's suspension integrity but failed to address the corrosion and wear that led to the current failure. The mileage trajectory from 123,614 miles to 150,247 miles between the two most recent failures is steep and inconsistent, suggesting either unaccounted wear on suspension components or a rapid accumulation of consumables like brake discs. This gap in data points to a lack of proactive maintenance, where the vehicle likely experienced a sudden increase in load or usage that exposed structural weaknesses. The lack of a specific date for the 2023-03-06 test indicates that the vehicle was likely driven for several years without a MOT, increasing the risk of corrosion and wear on critical drivetrain parts. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, suspension bushings, and structural integrity. The history reveals that the brake discs are seriously weakened and corroded, which is a serious safety hazard. Furthermore, the absence of a MOT in 2023 suggests the vehicle may have been driven for over three years, during which time the suspension and braking systems likely deteriorated. The buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and check for rust on the suspension components, as the vehicle's history indicates a pattern of progressive wear that requires professional assessment before a purchase is finalized.
