2010 Vauxhall Astra SRI 1.6L Petrol · PX60 WBM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 at 84,565 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a transition from reactive repairs to monitoring minor fluid leaks. While the 2025 test was clean of defects, the appearance of a non-excessive oil leak in the latest test suggests that the vehicle's owner is now addressing mechanical issues as they emerge due to age. At 16 years old with 84,565 miles, this Astra has averaged approximately 5,285 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a notable gap of 7,819 miles covered between February 2023 and February 2024. This low-mileage profile generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but often increases the risk of rubber-related component failure and corrosion, as evidenced by the cracked fuel cap seal noted in early 2022. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system due to recorded history of component wear. The 2024 test flagged play in both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and thin front brake pads, indicating that these components reached the end of their service life. Additionally, the 2022 report identified corrosion on both rear coil springs. A close inspection of the spring seats and mounting points is necessary to ensure that corrosion has not progressed into structural fractures, which would lead to a failure in future tests.
