2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · CP11 EEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on January 5 2026 at 162,447 miles. This result rectified a failure recorded just five days prior in late December 2025 with only four miles added, suggesting a minor component or sensor-related issue was addressed immediately. The overall trend of consecutive passes without recorded advisories over the last two years indicates that the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets basic legal safety requirements without escalating mechanical degradation. At 162,447 miles over 15 years, the Astra averages approximately 10,830 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a car of this age. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 18,500 miles between December 2024 and January 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is used frequently rather than suffering from long periods of standing which often lead to seized components or internal corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to this model at high mileage. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a manual check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is vital as these often perish before triggering an MOT failure. The buyer should also inspect the brake lines for corrosion and the sills and wheel arches for structural rust to ensure the chassis integrity remains sound despite the decade-plus-half of service.
