2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · N80 PED

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 April 2025 at 145,719 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, showing no escalating mechanical faults or recurring advisory issues. A clean pass at the latest test suggests the vehicle entered its fifteenth year in acceptable condition. Recorded mileage rose from 119,392 in April 2022 to 126,532 by April 2023, then to 145,719 by April 2025, equating to roughly 9,700 miles per year overall and matching typical use for a 2011 car. The two-year gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests is the only notable interval, though annual averages stayed consistent. The DVSA data is sparse, with every test returning either a pass or a fail carrying no listed defects, so the record offers limited insight into component-level wear. The April 2023 and April 2025 failures at 126,532 and 145,719 miles respectively show no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the age and mileage. Structural corrosion around subframes and sills warrants close examination, as the MOT system captured no advisories to confirm these areas were assessed.
