2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FP60 WHU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2025 at 111,875 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and environmental standards. Following a single failure in early February 2023, the Astra has maintained a clean record through subsequent inspections, suggesting that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified mechanical issues. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and February 2025, the car covered 9,235 miles, reflecting a steady and predictable usage rate rather than erratic periods of heavy wear. This gradual accumulation generally reduces the strain on drivetrain components and suspension, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber-based components and fluid degradation remain relevant factors regardless of the relatively low annual mileage. While the MOT record does not show recurring mechanical failures or advisories in the recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on areas common to this model of this age. A buyer should check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are frequent points of failure for older Astras. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the shock absorbers should be verified to ensure there is no perished rubber or play that the MOT tester might not have flagged.
