2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · SA61 JCY

The 2011 Vauxhall Astra holds a valid MOT issued on 2026-06-06 at 95,101 miles, passing with only a minor advisory for a defective exhaust mounting. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring failures that suggest a worsening mechanical pattern. The most recent test is only eleven days old, so the certificate is highly current relative to today's date of 2026-06-17. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,340 miles per year. Looking at the intervals between recorded tests, the car covered 8,348 miles between April 2025 and June 2026, 2,868 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, 2,182 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, and 4,057 miles between April 2022 and April 2023. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest long periods of neglect or excessive short-term wear. The annual testing pattern itself indicates a conscientious approach to ongoing compliance. A buyer should pay close attention to the front subframe mounting area, which the tester flagged as corroded in both the April 2025 and April 2024 tests. While neither instance was deemed excessive at the time, corrosion in this prescribed area can progress and ultimately compromise structural integrity if left unaddressed. The offside rear brake disc was noted as worn and pitted in April 2025, and the offside rear service brake was flagged as binding in April 2023. These are separate tests, but together they suggest the rear braking system warrants a thorough in-person inspection for uneven wear, caliper function, and disc condition. Tyre condition has appeared as an advisory in multiple years, including worn tread on the nearside front in 2023 and perishing on the offside rear in both 2022 and 2023. The defective exhaust mounting noted in the most recent test is a minor item but should be verified as repaired. Overall, the record reflects a vehicle that has been kept roadworthy, though the recurring subframe corrosion advisory and intermittent brake and tyre issues justify a careful physical inspection before purchase.
