2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FL11 ABU

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 104,531 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the December 2024 tests showed a clean pass at 99,111 miles following a same-day failure at 99,110 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has carried no advisories or recorded defects across the five-year span from the August 2022 test to the latest examination. Mileage progression sits within typical bounds for a 2011 vehicle, averaging near 6,969 miles annually against the 104,531 total. The record shows 85,654 miles in August 2022, rising to 87,795 by July 2023, then a larger jump to 99,110 by December 2024, and 104,531 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles in the 2023 to 2024 window and lighter 5,400-mile use thereafter. The sparse five-entry history with zero advisories suggests the prior keeper maintained basic test compliance, though the absence of intermediate records limits insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fifteen-year age and elapsed time between tests. The clean MOT ledger offers no flag for corrosion or structural integrity issues, but standing periods implied by low annual mileage can accelerate underbody rust unseen in a pass-only record. Verify the tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits yet degrade with time. The same-day fail and pass in December 2024 at near-identical mileages warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the Astra's documented history reflects consistent test passes and no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action from the supplied data.
