2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · GAR 105X

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 24 December 2025 at 169,848 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories, indicating the vehicle has been presented for test in a condition that meets minimum standards each time. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 15 year old car. The record shows 141,215 miles on 23 September 2022, rising to 149,352 miles by 4 October 2023, then 160,764 miles on 17 December 2024, and 169,848 miles at the final test. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 11,000 miles per year across the captured period. A notable point is the duplicate entry for 4 October 2023, where the car failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical defect. The sparse and clean MOT data gives little to flag on consumables or structural items. No tester noted tyre condition, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five entries. This implies previous owners kept the car to a baseline that cleared the test, though it does not confirm proactive upkeep beyond statutory requirement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of wear items the MOT does not grade. At 169,848 miles, suspension arms, drop links, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for play or binding. Inspect sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points for structural rust not yet at test threshold. Verify service history independently, as the MOT alone shows no fault trend but equally no evidence of interval maintenance.
