2009 Vauxhall Astravan 1.7L Diesel · AC58 AEB

The 2009 Vauxhall Astravan is presently roadworthy, as confirmed by the March 4 2026 MOT at 128,033 miles which recorded no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no recent failures. The mileage profile shows a steady increase of roughly 7,500 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle’s 17‑year age. The interval from the February 2 2024 test (123,185 miles) to the July 9 2025 test (127,484 miles) reflects an accumulation of 4,299 miles in just over five months, indicating a period of more intensive use, while the subsequent rise to 128,033 miles by March 2026 adds another 1,549 miles in eight months, maintaining a comparable annual rate. Mechanically, the record flags no recurring faults, yet the age and mileage suggest a need to scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs and any binding rear brake calipers, as these components often exhibit wear after high annual mileage. The absence of documented corrosion or structural advisories in the MOT history is encouraging, but a visual inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and underbody remains essential to confirm structural integrity. A buyer should therefore prioritise checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and brake disc wear during a pre‑purchase inspection, while also examining the condition of suspension components and the presence of any hidden rust that could compromise long‑term durability.
