Our Verdict
Approach with caution due to a recent MOT failure, but the clean pass with no defects recorded two weeks later is reassuring. This 2011 Vauxhall Astra Excite is a usable budget option if priced correctly and mechanically checked.
Before buying, ask the seller for clarification on the 2026-03-08 MOT failure, as the record shows a fail at 90,616 miles with no defects listed — this may be an administrative issue or a missing detail, and you should confirm the vehicle was genuinely roadworthy. Inspect the service history carefully; with no aggregate reliability data for the Astra Excite, a stamped book and recent invoices for timing belt, brakes, and suspension will support value.
The 1.4-litre petrol engine in this Astra Excite typically offers reasonable fuel economy for a hatchback of this age, though exact figures are not in the provided data. As a 2011 petrol car, it will fall into a standard road tax band and a modest insurance group, keeping fixed costs low for a budget buyer.
Pay close attention to the reason behind the 2026-03-08 MOT failure with no defects recorded — request the full MOT certificate or garage paperwork to rule out any hidden issue. The most recent pass at 91,180 miles recorded no defects, so check tyres, brakes, and suspension visually as a precaution given the car's 15-year age.
This white 2011 Vauxhall Astra Excite (HFZ2012) shows 91,180 miles on its most recent March 2026 MOT, which passed with no defects recorded. The history includes a failed MOT on 2026-03-08 at 90,616 miles, although no specific defect was listed, followed by a pass on 2026-03-29. Annual mileage has been modest in recent years, with only around 1,800 miles added between the 2024 and 2026 tests.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Astra Excite, so condition must be judged on this vehicle's individual history.
