2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · DP11 KWR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of inconsistent preparation. The most recent MOT test on 26 April 2023 at 123,747 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle was functional at that time. However, this followed a failure just two days prior at 123,712 miles, which implies the owner performed reactive repairs to rectify non-compliance issues immediately before the re-test. The mileage progression is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,250 miles per year. Between the March 2021 test at 108,764 miles and the May 2022 test at 116,985 miles, the car covered roughly 8,200 miles. The subsequent interval of 6,762 miles between May 2022 and April 2023 shows a similar trend. This steady usage suggests regular driving patterns, which generally benefits the health of mechanical components and braking systems compared to vehicles that sit stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most likely triggered the 2022 and 2023 failures, as the record does not specify the technical reasons for those declines. Common failure points on this Astra model often include issues with suspension bushes, wish arm bolts, and exhaust system corrosion. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural integrity on the rear sills and subframe points is essential. The lack of advisories in the final pass suggests that either the tester did not find minor wear, or the components were recently replaced.
