2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · LP60 HNR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving trend in its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2023 at 105,393 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed issues identified in prior years. While the history shows instances of failure, the clean sheet from the final recorded test suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets compliance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 92,078 miles and August 2022 at 99,071 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, followed by another 6,322 miles leading up to the 2023 test. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2021 and 2022. Although the records provided do not list the specific reasons for those failures, the recurring nature of testing issues often points to wear in suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust emissions. Given the age and mileage of this Vauxhall Astra, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these are common points of failure for this model that may not appear on an MOT record until they become critical.
