2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · MW11 HMZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-04-09 at 58,000 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a conflicting entry on the same date indicates a failure, though no specific defects were noted. This inconsistency raises questions about the accuracy of the records, but the absence of recorded issues in prior tests suggests a generally stable maintenance trend. The 2024-04-10 test at 52,644 miles and the 2023-04-11 test at 48,005 miles also passed without defects, reinforcing a pattern of consistent compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 58,000 miles at 15 years old equates to approximately 3,867 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like seals, batteries, and suspension systems. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with no gaps exceeding 12 months, indicating proactive maintenance. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential hidden issues, such as corrosion or gradual mechanical degradation. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records is reassuring, but visual checks for brake disc corrosion or caliper binding are recommended. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as low mileage does not preclude rust in vulnerable areas like sills or underbody panels. The clean MOT history implies responsible ownership, but the conflicting 2025 failure entry warrants clarification before finalizing the purchase.
