2010 Vauxhall Antara 2.0L Diesel · SW60 DPV

The overall roadworthiness status for the 2010 Vauxhall Antara is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT entry from December 2024. This is a clear deterioration from the previous year's successful test, indicating that the vehicle is no longer roadworthy. The maintenance trend is worsening, with the 2024-12-09 test failing immediately after the 2024-12-20 passing test, suggesting a consistent failure pattern rather than an isolated incident. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its operational history. The car was approximately 16 years old when the MOT was taken, yet it has logged over 112,000 miles. This rapid accumulation of mileage suggests that the owner has not maintained the vehicle as it should, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The 2024-12-09 failure occurred shortly after the 2024-12-20 pass, confirming that the vehicle has been accumulating miles and components without adequate servicing or replacement of worn parts. Given the recurring faults and structural deterioration, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes, binding front brakes, and structural integrity issues. The 2022-11-01 test flagged a severe deterioration of the constant velocity boot on the front outer drive shaft, which is a critical structural failure that could lead to wheel failure. The 2022-11-01 failure also included a minor exhaust leak and a failed rear stop lamp, indicating that the vehicle may require immediate professional diagnosis and potential suspension bushing replacement to restore roadworthiness.
