2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FJ11 VGP

The 2011 Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 124,805 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 show no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. Recorded mileage sits at 124,805 against a 15-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,320 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age. The record shows steady annual accumulation: 104,481 miles on 3 October 2022, 111,187 on 29 September 2023, 118,570 on 4 October 2024, and 124,805 in September 2025. No rapid jumps or dormant periods appear. One anomaly exists: a failed test on 4 October 2024 at 118,565 miles, immediately followed by a pass at 118,570 miles the same day with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or measurement discrepancy rather than a genuine fault. The clean MOT history gives no indication of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion requiring attention. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection of underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions, as the DVSA test does not capture internal engine wear or intermittent binding calipers. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a basic pass standard with no skipped consumables flagged across the five-year record. Given the age and mileage, expect natural degradation of rubber mounts and damping rates not yet severe enough for tester advisories.
