2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · BG60 AEA

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025 MOT test confirming compliance at 97,877 miles. No defects were recorded in the 2025, 2024, or 2022 tests, and the 2023 test, though marked as failed, showed no defects. This suggests the car has maintained acceptable mechanical condition over the past three years, with no recurring issues flagged. The 2023 failure appears anomalous, possibly due to procedural error or minor non-critical factors, but the absence of recorded defects in subsequent tests indicates resolution. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,525 miles annually. The 2022–2023 interval saw a 3,542-mile increase, followed by a 4,059-mile rise in 2023–2024, and a 8,171-mile jump in 2024–2025. While the latter reflects higher usage, the consistent annual testing and lack of defects imply regular maintenance. No significant gaps in coverage exist, and the MOT history shows no evidence of prolonged neglect. A buyer should inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for age-related wear, as these often degrade over 15 years. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, though no issues were recorded. Structural integrity remains untested in the provided data, so a thorough underbody inspection for rust is advisable. The absence of defects in recent tests supports reliability, but physical examination of high-mileage components is recommended to confirm continued safety.
