2011 Vauxhall Astra 2.0L Diesel · LO61 FLP

The most recent MOT from October 2025 shows a failed test due to an inoperative registration plate lamp, though it passed the same day. This is a minor lighting defect rather than a mechanical failure. There is a minor recurring issue with the registration plate lamp, as it was also noted in the 2024 MOT. Aside from these lighting defects, the mechanical trend looks stable. While the 2022 MOT recorded defects regarding wear on the rear brake disc and the nearside rear brake pads, no further brake-related issues have been recorded in the subsequent years. The mileage of 106,008 is roughly typical for a vehicle of this age. This suggests regular use, which is generally positive for preventing component seizure, though it does mean standard wear on consumables is expected. A buyer should inspect the braking system carefully to ensure the previous wear has been addressed. It is also important to check all external lighting to ensure there are no further electrical issues.
