2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SW10 FLH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent de-test data. The last MOT test conducted on 30 November 2023 at 147,806 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed any underlying issues identified in earlier tests. While the history shows failures in 2021 and 2022, the clean sweep suggests that the mechanical components are currently being maintained to an acceptable standard. At 147,806 miles over 16 years, the Astra averages approximately 9,238 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between December 2021 and November 2022, and another 3,300 miles between November 2022 and November 2023. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2021 and 2022, as the record does not specify the exact reasons for rejection. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the s sills and rear subframe is essential, as these are common points of failure on this model. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for wear and check for binding calipers, as these components frequently trigger failures as vehicles approach the 150,000-mile mark.
