2010 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · YR10 AEU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 29 October 2025 at 86,398 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently in a mechanically sound state. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,400 miles per year. Between 9 November 2023 and 29 October 2025, the odometer increased by 4,484 miles. This low annual usage indicates the vehicle has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage commuters, though it may suggest periods of inactivity. The record shows two instances where the car failed immediately before passing on the same day, specifically on 6 November 2023 and 14 November 2024. Because the DVSA records list no specific defects for these failures, they likely relate to minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or structural rust. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyre rubber for age-related cracking and inspect the brake calipers for seizing, as low-use vehicles often suffer from binding brakes. Verify the fluid levels and look for signs of perished rubber hoses or seals that can occur when a car spends long periods standing.
