2010 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · GJ10 DWL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 109,194 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a significant improvement compared to late 2024, where the vehicle failed two consecutive tests in quick succession. The transition from multiple failures to a clean pass suggests that the previous owner addressed the mechanical or safety issues that were preventing compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of miles, with 2,823 miles covered between March 2024 and November 2024, and another 3,332 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025. This regularity indicates the car is used frequently rather than sitting stationary, which is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and seals, though the overall age of the vehicle remains concern for rubber components and plastics. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2024, although the record provided does not list the exact reasons for those failures. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a close look at the structural integrity of the sills and rear suspension mounting is essential. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the brake system for signs of binding calipers or leaking cylinders, as these are common points of failure on this Astra model as they approach the sixteen-year mark.
