2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · MK61 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing over the last three years. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 131,097 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of successful testing in late 2022 and 2024, suggesting the owner has proactively addressed potential issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old Vauxhall, averaging approximately 8,740 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 21,244 miles, representing a steady usage pattern without periods of stress or long-term neglect. The single recorded failure in November 2023 at 117,660 miles was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed just one day later, which typically indicates a minor component replacement or adjustment rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Despite the clean recent records, a buyer-led inspection should focus on common age-related wear points for an Astra of this generation. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity is required, specifically looking for corrosion on the sills and rear arches where rust often develops. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these rubber components degrade over time regardless of mileage. While the MOT record shows no recent advisories for brakes or tyres, checking the physical condition of the pads and discs remains necessary to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacements.
