2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA60 UBR

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 19 September 2025 at 70,695 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. The only anomaly sits in September 2024, where the car failed and passed on the same day at 85,126 miles, yet the record lists no defects for either outcome, suggesting an administrative or data-recording irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage behaviour is inconsistent for a car of this age. The 2011 Astra shows just 70,695 miles on the latest test, roughly 4,700 miles per year, but the 2024 entry jumps to 85,126 miles before dropping back to 70,695 in 2025. That reversal is physically impossible from normal use and indicates either a clerical error in the DVSA log or a discrepancy in odometer recording between tests. Prior to that, the car accumulated steadily from 51,102 miles in January 2022 to 59,386 in February 2023, then to the anomalous 2024 figure. Given the sparse and clean record, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues surface for direct concern. The absence of advisories on coil springs, bushes, brake discs, or structural integrity across five tests implies reasonable care or, at minimum, no flagged deterioration. A buyer should still verify the true mileage with the seller, given the 2024 to 2025 reversal, and confirm the September 2024 fail-pass was administrative rather than a concealed defect. In person, inspect for standing-related issues typical of low-use cars: perished rubber components, seized calipers, and underbody corrosion despite the clean MOT. Check the exhaust for internal rot and confirm tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age. The low annual mileage means consumables may be old rather than worn, so dated evidence of replacement matters more than the odometer reading.
