2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · YG11 DFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT pass on 14 November 2025 at 148,574 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of successful tests over the last three years, suggesting the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,905 miles per year. Between October 2023 and November 2024, the car covered only 45 miles, indicating a prolonged period of inactivity. Use increased slightly thereafter, with 3,277 miles added between November 2024 and November 2025. This sporadic usage pattern is a key detail for any buyer to consider regarding battery health and fluid degradation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a fifteen year old Astra, showing no recorded advisories or defects across multiple tests. While the lack of flagged issues for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion is positive, it is rare for a vehicle of this age and mileage to show zero wear on consumables. The recorded failures on 12 November 2025 and 29 November 2024 were resolved immediately on the same or following day, though the specific faults were not detailed in the record. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT may not exhaustively cover. Check for signs of perished rubber seals and coolant leaks that often emerge after the periods of standing noted in 2023 and 2024. Verify the condition of the tyre treads and brake pad thickness manually, as the absence of advisories does not guarantee these components are not nearing the end of their service life.
