2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · GU60 ABF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-07 at 184,006 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-01-06 (170,594 miles) and 2024-01-18 (159,177 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a failed test on 2024-01-16 at the same mileage (159,177 miles) without recorded defects raises questions about potential technical anomalies or data entry errors. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies any prior issues were resolved, though the failed entry warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression shows a steady annual average of ~11,500 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle. The 2023-01-12 test at 144,855 miles preceded a 14,322-mile increase to 159,177 miles by 2024-01-18, reflecting normal wear. No significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes are evident, suggesting regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no advisories or critical failures recorded in the past three years. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The exhaust system and brake components, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for corrosion or wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. While no structural rust or major mechanical issues are noted in the MOT records, the 2024 failed test—despite no defects listed—merits further investigation to confirm whether it relates to emissions, minor faults, or procedural errors.
