2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · LS10 WPA

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 13 March 2025 at 122,067 miles with no recorded defects. The preceding day’s failure at the same mileage was limited to a non‑functioning horn and a tear in the nearside rear tyre, both rectifiable items. Over the ten‑year record the majority of tests have been passes, indicating a generally stable maintenance pattern with occasional consumable‑wear issues rather than a worsening structural trend. Mileage averages roughly 7,600 miles per year, a figure typical for a 2010 model. The jump from 112,680 miles on 11 January 2024 to 122,067 miles by March 2025 reflects a normal usage rate of about 9,400 miles in fourteen months, showing no evidence of prolonged inactivity or sudden high‑kilometre periods. Earlier records display steady increments, suggesting consistent, moderate use throughout the vehicle’s life. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the tyre fleet, confirming that the nearside rear tyre has been replaced and that all tread depths exceed the 1.6 mm legal minimum. Brake components merit inspection: the rear disc noted as pitted in November 2019 and the thin front pads recorded in January 2016 should be measured for remaining thickness, and the brake pedal split noted in November 2018 should be examined for structural integrity. The severe corrosion of both rear coil springs reported in November 2018 calls for a visual check of suspension bushes and spring condition, while the horn’s operability must be verified. Finally, any under‑tray or engine‑cover modifications should be inspected to ensure they do not conceal rust or damage to critical chassis and engine components.
