2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · BN11 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 July 2025 with 127,192 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial issue rectified instantly. The preceding three years of testing show a clean history without advisories, indicating that the owner has maintained basic standards over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 95,972 miles and July 2025 at 127,192 miles, the car covered 31,220 miles, representing a steady rate of use of roughly 10,000 miles annually. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the health of engine seals, brake lines, and rubber-based components. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation that MOT tests do not always capture. On an Astra of this era, close attention must be paid to structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, where rust often begins. You should also inspect the suspension bushes for signs of play and check the shock absorbers for leaks, as these components reach the end of their functional life around 120,000 miles regardless of a clean MOT history.
