2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · OY61 AEP

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 21 May 2025 at 53,097 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. A prior failure on the same date at identical mileage, and another on 20 May 2024 at 46,360 miles, both list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than vehicle condition problems. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 2011 vehicle. From the 22 May 2023 test at 39,943 miles to the 20 May 2024 test at 46,361 miles, the car covered just 6,418 miles in a year. By May 2025 it reached 53,097 miles, adding only 6,736 miles over the following twelve months, an average of roughly 3,540 miles per year across its life. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods or short local journeys, though the sparse record offers no evidence of neglect or rapid wear cycles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber components and binding brakes through lack of movement. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close examination despite the clean MOT slate, since the tester recorded no advisories to confirm or deny underlying rust. Given the absence of recorded defects, the vehicle shows no pattern of skipped consumable upkeep such as tyres or wiper blades. The duplicate failure entries without faults imply the previous owner resolved paperwork promptly rather than deferring repairs, a favourable care signal for this low-use Astra.
