2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · SD60 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 103,020 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful testing since late 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without significant recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical domestic usage pattern for a 16-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 103,020 miles, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in mileage, moving from 64,451 miles in November 2022 to 87,317 miles in November 2024, and finally reaching 103,020 miles in November 2025. This steady progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage. The only recorded failure occurred in November 2023 at 73,184 miles, though the record shows no specific defects were noted for that failure, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. Given the vehicle's age and the mileage recorded, a physical inspection should focus on common wear items that do not always trigger an MOT advisory. You should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the integrity of the subframe to check for corrosion. Brake components should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, and the exhaust system should be checked for structural corrosion or leaks. While the MOT history is clean, the transition from the 2023 failure to the subsequent passes indicates that whatever issue existed was rectified. A thorough check of the timing belt and water pump service history is recommended, as these are critical maintenance items for this age and mileage.
