VAUXHALL ASTRA EXCITE2011 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 29 March 2026 at 91,180 miles. While the car failed a test earlier that same month on 8 March at 90,616 miles, the absence of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or testing discrepancy rather than a mechanical failure. The history indicates a consistent standard of maintenance, with no recurring advisories or major component failures reported over the last four years of testing. The recorded mileage of 91,180 miles over a fifteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,079 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for this model. The data shows a period of accelerated usage between October 2024 and March 2026, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles. This increased activity following a period of lower annual mileage suggests the car has transitioned from light use to a more regular commute, yet the MOT results remained clear throughout this transition. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of high-wear components that often escape MOT scrutiny, specifically the clutch bite point and the state of the timing belt, as these are not captured in the test record. Given the age of the vehicle, check the underside for signs of surface corrosion on the sills and subframes, even though no structural issues were flagged. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as the recent increase in mileage may have accelerated the degradation of these consumables despite the clean test results.
