2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · AF11 VBP

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent test on 21 November 2023 at 85,003 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the surrounding history shows administrative irregularities rather than mechanical decline. The vehicle cleared its final assessment cleanly, which suggests no outstanding advisories at that point. Mileage data indicates light use for a 15-year-old vehicle, with only 85,003 miles logged, averaging roughly 5,667 miles annually. The record shows an odd pattern: a failed test on 18 November 2023 at 85,003 miles with no defects listed, followed three days later by a pass at identical mileage, and similarly in November 2022 a fail at 83,521 miles and a pass the same day at 86,541 miles. Such entries imply clerical or processing anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine road use, as the odometer did not advance between the 2022 fail and pass yet jumped 3,020 miles within a single day's records. No advisories or defects appear across any test from the 2021 pass at 72,045 miles through to 2023, so the official record gives no flag for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and the likelihood of prolonged standing implied by low yearly mileage. Verify the front suspension, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizing that a clean MOT may not capture on a lightly driven car.
