2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DE11 ACU

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 53,330 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass issued on that date after an initial failure logged the same day with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual test from 3 April 2023 through to the 2026 pass returning no advisories or defects. No worsening mechanical condition or recurring fault pattern emerges from the data. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 2011 registration. The car covered 38,569 miles at the 3 April 2023 test, 43,676 by 3 April 2024, 49,069 on 2 April 2025, and 53,330 by 31 March 2026. That averages roughly 3,550 miles per year. The steady year-on-year increments show consistent light use rather than long dormant periods or sudden high-mileage bursts. Clean test outcomes at each interval suggest the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current despite the low running. The same-day fail and pass on 31 March 2026 with no defects noted points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. Because the record carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the history gives no evidence of pending consumable or structural risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and suspension components given the vehicle's fifteen years. Low mileage can mask perished rubber bushes or surface corrosion from standing. Verify the 31 March 2026 failure reason in person through the full DVSA certificate, and confirm tyre condition and brake caliper operation despite the clean record.
