2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DY11 BHD

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 71,038 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since at least 2021. The vehicle shows no advisories or failures across the available five-year history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage stands at 71,038 against a 2011 build date, equating to roughly 4,736 miles per year. The test on 27 May 2021 captured 42,537 miles, rising to 45,246 by 6 June 2022, 51,615 by 6 June 2023, 63,409 by 20 June 2024, and 71,038 by 11 June 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 2,000 and 12,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The sparse but clean record suggests light, steady use rather than neglect or heavy commercial duty. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, droplinks, and coolant hoses that pass visual test yet degrade through age and standing. Corrosion on sills, subframes, and brake pipes warrants close scrutiny given the vehicle's fifteen years, as the tester logged no structural advisories to date. Verify brake disc thickness, caliper operation, and tyre sidewall condition in person, since these consumables escape MOT notation when within limits. The absence of recorded faults reflects test-day condition only, not a guarantee of ongoing reliability on a low-mileage elderly hatchback.
