2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · CE61 ULP

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 19 May 2025 at 89,539 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. Each annual examination from 2023 to 2025 returned a pass with no advisories or recorded faults, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition over the observed period. The recorded mileage of 89,539 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 5,969 miles per year against the car's 2011 build, a low figure for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. Annual increments are modest and consistent: 75,841 miles in May 2023, 83,163 in May 2024, and 89,539 in May 2025. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass, though the May 2024 and May 2023 dates each show an initial failure with no defects recorded before the same-day pass, a pattern typical of administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual use, as standing periods can accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake calipers without triggering MOT advisories. The absence of recorded faults does not exempt the car from age-related degradation in exhaust mountings or subframe rust. Verify the two failure-then-pass same-day entries with the test station to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Otherwise the record implies a lightly used car with basic upkeep maintained, though in-person checks on tyre sidewall condition and underbody structural integrity remain prudent before purchase.
