Vauxhall Astra Sri Cdti 108 (2010)
2010 Vauxhall Astra Sri Cdti 108
CarHunch analysed 176 real MOT records for the 2010 Vauxhall Astra Sri Cdti 108. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Astra CDTI is notably less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 68.9% against the national 80%, meaning roughly one in three won't pass without repairs. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety isn't the concern—just everyday wear and tear.
At 108,000 miles, these cars are showing typical mileage for their age, but they're averaging 0.89 failures per test, suggesting ageing diesel engines and suspension components are becoming problematic. When shopping for one, budget for at least one round of repairs before the next MOT and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel engine condition and brake system.
What to check before buying a 2010 Vauxhall Astra Sri Cdti 108
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
