Our Verdict

When viewing this 2011 Astra, request any documentary evidence supporting the vehicle's low annual mileage, as it has averaged just under 5,500 miles per year over the recorded period. Inspect the service history closely to determine when the brakes and tyres were last serviced or replaced, given the recent March 2026 advisories.
Negotiate on the price if the braking system imbalance or the offside rear tyre damage has not been rectified since the last MOT test. It is essential to verify that the oil mist noted on the gearbox during the 2022 and 2023 tests has been monitored and has not progressed into a more severe leak.
Equipped with a 1598.0cc petrol engine, this Astra falls into a mainstream tax bracket that should be verified using the V5C documentation and DVLA database. Fuel economy for this generation of petrol Astra is generally moderate, making it suitable for mixed urban and motorway driving.
Insurance costs should be relatively modest due to the engine size and age of the vehicle, though individual quotes will vary based on postcode and driver history. Maintenance and repair costs are typically straightforward given the widespread availability of parts for the Vauxhall Astra platform.
Pay close attention to the front axle braking system, referencing the March 2026 advisory regarding brake imbalance where requirements were only just met and both sides locked. Inspect the offside rear tyre for the inner edge cut noted in the same test.
Check the underside of the vehicle around the gearbox area to assess the oil mist previously flagged in the 2022 and 2023 MOT tests. Additionally, test all electrical functions, headlamps, and dashboard warning indicators, as lighting and engine MIL issues are among the top failure reasons recorded for this model nationally.
Registered in April 2011, this silver petrol Vauxhall Astra with a 1598.0cc engine presents an unusual mileage profile, sitting at 54,715 miles as of its March 2026 test. Across five recorded MOT tests between 2022 and 2026, the vehicle has secured passes every single time, though recent records include advisories for braking performance and tyre condition. Its lower-than-average mileage for its age offers a distinct contrast to typical fleet examples on the UK market.
The Vauxhall Astra model sits against a national aggregate pass rate of 78.0% across nearly 800,000 tested vehicles, with headlamps and tyres being common failure points.
