2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · RE61 YPX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 92,666 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure exactly one week prior on 14 November 2025 at 92,597 miles, though the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-impact annual use, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 80,615 miles and November 2025 at 92,666 miles, the vehicle covered 12,051 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or brake caliper corrosion in older vehicles. The low mileage relative to the age suggests the drivetrain and engine components have undergone less mechanical stress than typical for a 15-year-old Astra. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should focus on age-related degradation that the test does not always capture. Inspect the structural integrity for surface rust along the rear sills and floor pans, as these are common failure points for this model regardless of mileage. Additionally, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber components tend to perish over fifteen years even with low usage.
