2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · YM11 EVN

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 21 July 2025 at 150,729 miles, with the official record showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared the August 2023 test at 140,675 miles, the August 2024 test at 145,326 miles, and the July 2025 test without any advisories or recorded faults, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 150,729 against a 2011 registration, equating to roughly 10,049 miles per year and matching typical use for a 15-year-old family hatchback. The odometer advanced 4,651 miles between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests, then 5,403 miles to the July 2025 examination, a steady annual rate with no abrupt accumulation or prolonged dormancy. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only paired fail and pass entries on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 with no defects listed, which suggests administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean advisory sheet. Absence of flagged items does not certify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or subframe corrosion, all common failure points on high-mileage Astra platforms of this era. The same-day fail and pass pattern in 2024 and 2025 implies the previous keeper addressed any presentation issue swiftly, but offers no insight into underlying wear on drivetrain mounts or exhaust emissions components. Given the vehicle's age and 150,729 miles, focus the viewing on structural integrity beneath sills and wheel arches, plus measurement of remaining tyre tread and binding calipers at the front axle. The record implies disciplined MOT compliance, yet routine consumable replacement history remains undocumented and must be verified through service invoices.
