2011 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · LP60 XDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though it is currently overdue for an MOT. The most recent test on 8 June 2022 at 138,225 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle was in good mechanical condition at that time. Since that inspection, the vehicle has not been tested for nearly four years, meaning an immediate test is required to verify that structural integrity and safety components have not deteriorated during this period of potential inactivity. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fifteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 36,000 miles between the April 2019 test at 92,267 miles and the October 2020 test at 128,224 miles. While the record shows two instances of failure—once in April 2019 and once in October 2020—both issues were rectified within days. This suggests the previous owners were proactive in addressing immediate compliance issues rather than allowing minor faults to persist. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and suspension components, given the age of the Astravan. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, the lack of data for four years increases the risk of surface corrosion on the brake lines and exhaust system. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for signs of stress fractures, as these components may have perished if the vehicle sat stationary during the intervals between the 2022 test.
