Our Verdict
This 2010 Vauxhall Astra diesel presents a reassuringly straightforward MOT history with four consecutive first-time passes and zero recorded defects between 2021 and 2024. At 136,379 miles, it has covered a typical distance for a 16-year-old diesel hatchback, though buyers should verify the physical condition independently.
When inspecting this 2010 Astra, request a full documentary service history to verify when critical components such as the timing belt, oil, and filters were last replaced, as MOT certificates only test basic roadworthiness at a specific point in time. Given the 1686.0cc diesel engine, pay close attention to cold-start behavior, listen for any unusual turbocharger noises, and check the condition of the clutch and flywheel. Negotiate on price if there are any gaps in the service record or cosmetic wear consistent with a vehicle of this age and mileage.
The 1686.0cc diesel engine typically offers competitive fuel economy for motorway and longer-distance driving, though exact figures will depend on driving style and traffic conditions. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) band and insurance group should be checked against current UK rates, keeping in mind that older diesel models may face specific local emissions charges depending on where they are driven. Maintenance costs for an Astra of this era are generally manageable due to widespread parts availability, but budgeting for consumables like brakes and tyres is essential.
Thoroughly inspect the vehicle's bodywork and undercarriage for signs of corrosion, despite the clean recent MOT test results showing no structural defects. Check all interior electronics, including the air conditioning, heating fan speeds, windows, and infotainment system, as electrical gremlins can develop in older hatchbacks. Verify that all seatbelts, airbags, and warning lights function correctly during a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection.
First registered in November 2010, this grey Vauxhall Astra features a 1686.0cc diesel engine and has recorded an odometer reading of 136,379 miles by its most recent test in August 2024. The available MOT data shows clean passes in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 with no advisories or failures noted during these inspections. This provides a clear baseline of roadworthiness across its recent testing history.
