2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · GY10 HDJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 23 February 2026 at 95,083 miles showing no defects. This follows a clean pass in February 2025 at 90,683 miles, suggesting that the mechanical condition has improved or stabilised following previous minor advisories. The absence of any recorded defects in the last two testing cycles indicates a consistent level of maintenance regarding primary safety components. The mileage history shows a low-usage pattern for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,943 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 73,547 miles and the 2024 test at 83,218 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles, which represents a period of higher relative use compared to the 2021 to 2023 period where mileage remained largely static. This low annual mileage can often lead to longer intervals between servicing, though the current records do not explicitly show evidence of neglect. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and tyre wear patterns. The January 2024 test flagged thin rear brake pads and front tyres worn on the edges, indicating potential issues with alignment or suspension geometry. While these issues appear to have been addressed given the clean 2025 and 2026 results, checking the current condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is advisable to ensure no underlying wear is causing uneven tyre degradation. Minor historical issues such as items obstructing the driver's view in 2020 and 2021 were administrative in nature and do not suggest mechanical instability. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the underside for corrosion and the condition of rubber components is recommended, despite the clean recent MOT history.
