2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · LL61 MGV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in January 2026 with no recorded defects or advisories. The mileage recorded at that time was 86,040 miles. It is worth noting that the tester could not fully inspect the nearside rear adult seatbelt due to a fitted child seat, and engine bay covers obscured some components during the inspection. Looking at the long-term trend, the condition appears stable with no failed tests in the available history. However, the consistent presence of engine under-trays over several years means that any fluid leaks or corrosion in the engine bay may have gone unnoticed during previous inspections. The mileage is relatively low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,736 miles per year. The recent MOT history suggests usage has been particularly light in recent years, with very little mileage added between 2022 and 2024. While this indicates less mechanical wear on drivetrain components, long periods of inactivity can cause issues with rubber hoses, belts, and fluids degrading over time. Given the obscured view of the engine bay, you should prioritize checking for any signs of oil or coolant leaks, especially around the engine covers. Inspect the rubber hoses and drive belts for age-related cracking or perishing, as these suffer from time rather than just mileage.
