2011 Vauxhall Astravan 1.9L Diesel · VX11 FAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 114,309 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest, as the vehicle has remained free of advisories since July 2022. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old Astravan, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 97,333 miles and July 2025 at 114,309 miles, the vehicle covered 17,000 miles, indicating a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or heavy accumulation. This moderate mileage generally reduces the wear on drivetrain components and brakes, though the age of the vehicle necessitates attention to rubber-based parts like suspension bushes and hoses which can degrade over time regardless of distance. Given the lack of recorded mechanical advisories in the history, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points. On Vauxhall vans of this era, corrosion often develops in the sills and rear wheel arches which surface level tests may miss. The buyer should also check for signs of minor fluid leaks or uneven wear on brake discs, as the MOT record does not capture the granular condition of these components between annual tests.
