2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · DA11 MHV

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 September 2025 at 134,929 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the surrounding test history shows administrative churn rather than mechanical decline. Three tests within three weeks in August and September 2025 returned two failures with no defects listed, then a clean pass, indicating the failures were likely procedural rather than fault-based. The recorded mileage sits at 134,929 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 8,995 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The gap between the 16 October 2024 test at 125,937 miles and the August 2025 tests at 134,921 to 134,929 shows only about 9,000 miles added in ten months, a slightly elevated but unremarkable rate. No long dormant periods or sudden accumulation spikes are visible in the supplied record, and every test from 2024 onward carries a clean defect sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car is fifteen years old and past 130,000 miles. The MOT data flags no advisories for corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, so the retained record implies previous owners kept the vehicle to a passable standard without neglected consumables surfacing. Confirm the absence of outstanding manufacturer recalls and check for undocumented wear on tyres and wiper blades, as these minor items fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits. The clean advisory history offers reassurance, but in-person checks on drivetrain condition remain sensible at this mileage.
