Is the 2010 Astravan getting worse?
Pass rate of 2010-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |

|
| 2024 | 66.2% -0.9 vs same-age |

| 2025 | 65.3% -1.6 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.
