2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · HR61 DAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 119,279 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed issues immediately following MOT test failures. While the record shows two failures in December 2024 and January 2026, the subsequent passes without recorded defects suggest that mechanical faults are being rectified rather than indicating a deep-seated structural decline. At 119,279 miles over 15 years, the Astra has averaged approximately 7,952 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows a recent increase in activity, with 8,678 miles covered between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 7,372 miles recorded between December 2024 and January 2026. This consistent usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which often prevents the degradation of seals and components associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in late 2024 and early 2026, although the provided record does not list the specific defects for those instances. The frequency of these failures suggests attention to consumable items such as bulbs, wipers, or exhaust components. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting points is essential, as should the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines to ensure no hidden mechanical wear is developing beyond what the MOT tester has addressed.
