2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · FN61 SNX

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 129,609 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed test on 20 September 2023 at 124,226 miles that carries no recorded defects, immediately followed by a passing test on the same date at the same mileage, which points to an administrative or procedural retest rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern sits close to typical use for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,600 miles per year. Records show 120,636 miles in September 2022, 124,226 in September 2023, 126,871 in September 2024, and 129,609 in September 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 2,645 and 3,738 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. The clean sweep of passes across this period suggests the previous owner kept basic servicing and consumable checks in order. No advisories or defects appear across the five-year MOT span, so the history gives no direct warning on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts given the car's age and salt-exposed UK winters. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds until worn severely. The duplicate 20 September 2023 entry with a fail and no defects warrants a check of the DVSA portal to confirm it was a system retest. Beyond that administrative quirk, the Astra's record shows consistent, light-use ownership with no worsening mechanical trend and no outstanding structural concerns from the data supplied.
