2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA61 FNP

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the June 2025 test cycle, with a clean pass recorded at 103,007 miles on 2025-06-06. The maintenance trend is stable. The DVSA record shows no advisories or defects across any test, indicating the vehicle has cleared each examination without flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Annual mileage averages 6,867 across the 15-year life, a typical figure for the age. The records confirm 73,107 miles at the June 2023 test, 89,341 at the failed June 2024 attempt, 89,499 at the pass eleven days later, and 103,007 at both the failed and passed June 2025 entries. The 14,000-mile jump between 2023 and 2024 then a 13,500-mile rise to 2025 reflects steady use rather than standing or neglect. The duplicate fail and pass on identical dates in both 2024 and 2025 with zero defects suggests administrative re-tests, not mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of corrosion on sills and subframes, as MOT cleanliness at this age does not rule out early structural rust. The tester logged no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but 103,000 miles warrants checking suspension arm bushes and brake disc thickness in person. The absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test, yet independent verification of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains sensible given the mileage.
