2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · SA11 WGD

The vehicle presents as a currently roadworthy example with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2025 at 141,452 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating the car is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in October 2024, the subsequent successful re-test just one week later suggests that any identified issues were addressed immediately and rectified by the owner rather than representing a pattern of mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the Astra covered 14,263 miles, followed by a slightly lower interval of 14,111 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber-based components and the seizing of brake components due to corrosion. Despite the clean record of the most recent tests, a buyer should focus on common wear points for a Vauxhall Astra of this age. Given the high mileage of over 141,000 miles, a physical inspection of the suspension arm bushes and coil springs is essential, as these components often perish at this interval. The buyer should also check for developing structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as the MOT tester only identifies structural rust once it has compromised the integrity.
