2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FL11 AAZ

This Vauxhall Astra is in a stable roadworthy condition based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 24 January 2026 at 85,417 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last several years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of compliance with DVSA standards. The mileage is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 5,694 miles per year. The distance covered between the January 2023 test at 78,995 miles and the January 2026 test at 85,417 miles shows a steady, low-volume usage pattern of approximately 2,100 to 3,400 miles annually. This suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy motorway wear or sudden spikes in usage. The absence of advisories or failures since 2023 is unusual for a fifteen year old vehicle. While the record is clean, the lack of flagged wear on consumables like brake discs or suspension bushes often suggests either an exceptionally well-maintained car or a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary. A buyer should specifically check for signs of perishing rubber components and check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, as low mileage can lead to hardening of the compound. A physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, which the MOT tester may have overlooked if the car is visually clean. Given the lack of recorded faults, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements is essential to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean MOT record.
