2011 VAUXHALL ASTRA1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 93,856 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a successful retest in October 2024 after a failure earlier that day, suggesting the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified mechanical issues to maintain compliance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with light usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 71,326 miles and August 2023 at 79,013 miles, the car covered 7,687 miles, while the more recent interval saw 6,598 miles covered between the October 2024 and 2025 tests. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes mask fluid degradation compared to high-mileage vehicles. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure in October 2024 at 87,258 miles to ensure the repair was thorough. Given the age of this Vauxhall Astra, a physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, which are common areas for this model. Check the condition of rubber suspension bushes and brake boots for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perish rot rather than mechanical wear.
