2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · GF11 VRZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance history that suggests consistent upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 14 August 2025 at 100,625 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just the previous day at only eight miles prior. This indicates that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate non-compliance issues to secure a pass, and the vehicle currently meets all legal road safety standards without outstanding mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the Astra covered 3,971 miles, while a further 3,427 miles were recorded in the following year. This low annual usage is typical for a car used for short-distance commuting, which generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of neglect, which reduces the likelihood of accelerated degradation in rubber-based parts or fluid seals. While the record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common failure points for this generation of Astra. Given the age of the vehicle, close attention should be paid to structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches where corrosion often begins undetected. The buyer should also check for signs of wear on suspension bushes and linkages, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from dry rot in rubber over time. The lack of recorded brake issues or exhaust leaks suggests these systems are in good condition, but a manual check for binding calipers or exhaust corrosion remains necessary to confirm the MOT data reflects the current state of the hardware.
