2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SB60 ADV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 121,155 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor mechanical issues in late 2024, suggesting that previous faults have been addressed effectively. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 105,961 miles in December 2022 to the current 121,155 miles. There are no signs of erratic usage or long periods of inactivity, which typically helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and rear suspension. The failure on 18 December 2024 at 112,530 miles specifically identified a lack of effort in the nearside rear parking brake, indicating a potential issue with the mechanism or cable. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, verifying the operation of the handbrake and checking for any binding or uneven braking is prudent. The 7 December 2023 test at 110,431 miles flagged corroded rear coil springs and a deteriorating exhaust flexi. Although these were cleared in later tests, these components are prone to recurring wear on a 2010 chassis. A thorough underside inspection is necessary to check for structural corrosion or further degradation of the exhaust system and suspension mounting points.
