2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FG61 ESN

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness picture based on its most recent test. On 27 January 2024 at 126,578 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly at 114,440 miles on 23 December 2022 and at 101,117 miles on 23 December 2021. The maintenance trend is steady with no advisories or worsening conditions logged across the available record. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2011 vehicle. The odometer moved from 101,117 miles in December 2021 to 114,440 miles in December 2022, a 13,323-mile year, then to 126,578 miles by January 2024, a further 12,138 miles over roughly thirteen months. That averages near 8,400 miles per year against the car's fifteen-year life. The DVSA history is sparse, showing only four entries with no recorded faults, so the clean sheet gives limited insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage. The MOT record flags no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions failures, yet a 126,578-mile Astra of this era commonly develops subframe corrosion and worn trailing arm bushes not always caught in a pass test. Verify the January 2024 failure reason with the test station to rule out a documentation error. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody rust during viewing. The absence of advisories across four tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the two-year gap between 2022 and 2024 entries leaves the intervening condition unverified by DVSA data.
