2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · SA60 AEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT pass on 13 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has passed its last four annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. The failure on the same day as the most recent pass suggests a minor administrative or immediate-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage data presents a significant irregularity that requires scrutiny. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the odometer climbed from 106,147 miles to 119,885 miles, reflecting typical usage. However, the October 2025 entry records a mileage of 77,618 miles. This represents a decrease of over 42,000 miles in one year, which is physically impossible. This discrepancy strongly suggests either a clerical error by the MOT tester or a potential odometer rollback. A buyer must verify the actual mileage through service records or a physical inspection of the pedal wear and steering wheel condition. While the MOT history is clean of mechanical faults, the low recorded mileage of 77,618 for a 16-year-old car contradicts the earlier records. If the vehicle has actually covered over 120,000 miles, the buyer should prioritize checking for wear in the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs. Given the lack of advisories, there are no recurring faults to flag. However, the mileage anomaly is a primary concern. You should check for signs of structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this model that may not have been highlighted if the vehicle was tested at a lenient station.
