2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · KS59 VNL

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 December 2025 at 103,496 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable across the recorded history. Prior to that pass, the car failed on 11 December 2025 at 103,466 miles, yet the tester recorded no defects; this points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. A similar pattern occurred on 14 August 2023 when the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 88,200 miles with no defects noted. The odometer shows 103,496 miles against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 6,468 miles per year, which is typical for the age. Mileage moved from 88,200 in August 2023 to 97,857 by August 2024, then to 103,466 by December 2025. The annual accumulation sits near the long-term average with no rapid spikes or unexplained gaps. The sparse record carries no advisories on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes across any test. Given the clean sheets and repeated no-defect fails, the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic test compliance without neglected wear items surfacing. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills and subframes, as sixteen-year-old Vauxhalls commonly rot there unseen by MOT if not flagged. Verify the front suspension arms, coil springs, and exhaust emissions during a cold start, since the record offers no evidence either way on hidden fatigue. Confirm with the selling garage why the December 2025 and August 2023 tests failed with zero defects recorded, as this may reflect data entry errors rather than fault. The low annual mileage suggests lighter use, but standing periods can stiffen calipers and perish rubber. A pre-purchase check remains sensible despite the spotless advisory list.
