2010 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · WH05 ACC

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance trend with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 17 November 2025 at 140,184 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or a vehicle that has been exceptionally well cared for. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 16 year old car. Between the December 2021 test at 113,029 miles and the November 2025 test at 140,184 miles, the vehicle covered 27,155 miles. This averages to roughly 6,788 miles per year over the last four years, indicating regular use without any periods of prolonged standing that typically cause seals to perish or batteries to fail. The absence of any advisories or failures across five consecutive years is rare for a Vauxhall Astra of this vintage. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake disc deterioration, which are common failure points for this model. While the DVSA data is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust that may not have reached a critical failure threshold during testing. Physical inspection should focus on high-wear consumables that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a legal limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Given the mileage of 140,184, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical engine components are not checked during a standard MOT test.
