2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · SW11 LNP

This Vauxhall Astra presents as mechanically stable and roadworthy based on the available data. The most recent MOT test on 22 July 2025 at 83,434 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,562 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer climbed from 63,869 to 73,096 miles. This jump of nearly 10,000 miles in one year contrasts with the previous period between 2022 and 2023, which saw a gain of 7,995 miles. The most recent interval shows a further increase of 10,338 miles, indicating the car is now in more regular use than in its earlier life. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. However, the record shows a failure and immediate pass on 29 July 2024 at 73,096 miles. Since the specific reason for that failure was not detailed in the provided data, it remains a blind spot in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often degrade during periods of low usage or standing. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the underbody for structural rust and the condition of the suspension bushes is recommended, as these parts can perish regardless of low mileage.
