2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · NJ61 SOC

The 2024‑02‑22 MOT at 109,749 miles passed without recorded defects, confirming that the Vauxhall Astra was roadworthy at that time; however, the interval of more than two years since that test means the current roadworthiness cannot be assumed stable. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase from 85,664 miles in the January 2022 test to 109,749 miles in the February 2024 test, averaging roughly 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 15‑year age and suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially given the two earlier failures that were remedied before the subsequent passes. Because the last official assessment was over two years ago, obtaining a fresh MOT or a professional inspection before purchase is essential to confirm that the previously addressed issues have not re‑emerged and that consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades remain within service limits.
