2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DV61 HAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 July 2026 at 54,869 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has a history of clean passes with very few recorded faults over the available data. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 3,658 miles per year. A significant gap exists in the MOT history between October 2017, when the car sat at 12,049 miles, and July 2026. This suggests the vehicle may have spent several years off the road or was used very sparingly. The jump from 12,049 to 54,869 miles over nearly nine years indicates a late increase in usage. While the record is clean, the long periods of inactivity and low overall mileage raise specific concerns. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack from age regardless of tread depth. The 5 September 2016 test at 9,768 miles flagged a worn offside front tyre, which is a minor consumable issue, but the lack of recent data on brakes suggests a need to check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs caused by standing. Inspect the underbody for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often suffer from moisture traps if stored in damp environments. Verify that the engine oil and coolant show no signs of degradation from infrequent changes. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check of the battery health and fuel system integrity is recommended to ensure the car has not suffered from long-term dormancy.
