2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN11 UER

The Vauxhall Astra presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 24 June 2025 at 195,141 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three annual passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The single-day failures recorded on 17 June 2024 and 20 June 2023 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than genuine mechanical defects, as the records show no defects listed on either failure or pass. At roughly 13,009 miles per year, this 2011 Astra carries high mileage for its age and the 195,141 recorded miles indicate sustained use across its lifespan. The odometer advanced from 169,005 miles at the June 2023 test to 181,290 miles by June 2024, then to 195,141 miles by June 2025, equating to consistent annual accumulation of around 12,000 to 14,000 miles with no standing gaps. Such sustained motorway or commuter use typically loads drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake discs more heavily than low-mileage urban operation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's fifteen years and high mileage, as the MOT record omits any advisory on subframes or sills that an older Vauxhall of this generation commonly develops. The tester recorded no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the history, yet the clean record provides no assurance that consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, or suspension arm bushes were proactively replaced rather than simply within tolerance on test day. Given the sparse but clean history, the previous owner appears to have maintained basic test compliance without neglect of critical items. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern points to test booking errors rather than deferred repairs. Prospective purchasers should verify service history and scrutinise brake disc thickness and suspension wear in person before completion.
