2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · SA60 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 78,129 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a failure was noted in October 2024, the immediate re-pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Astra, averaging approximately 4,883 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 19,761 miles, showing a consistent and low-usage trend. This low annual mileage typically results in less wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain components compared to high-mileage vehicles. However, low mileage on cars of this age can sometimes indicate periods of sitting, which may lead to corrosion on brake components or the degradation of rubber seals. Given the clean results of the two most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity and age-related perish rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should check for surface corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and subframe, as these are common failure points for this generation of Astra regardless of mileage. One should also inspect the tyres for cracking or sidewalling, as low-use vehicles often age out before the tread wears down. Testing the brake calipers for seizing and checking the suspension bushes for perished rubber will ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying underlying neglect.
