2009 VAUXHALL ASTRA SRI+CDTI 1001.7L Diesel

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 18 October 2025 at 86,124 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 31 March 2021 through to that 2025 pass returned a clean result, showing no advisories or failures across the five-year span. The vehicle has cleared each inspection without mechanical or structural concerns being raised. At roughly 17 years old, the car shows 86,124 recorded miles, an average of about 5,066 miles per year. The MOT logs trace a steady, low accumulation: 67,479 miles in March 2021, 73,090 by April 2022, 77,236 in May 2023, 83,089 in September 2024, and 86,124 in October 2025. The sparse but consistent record reveals no gaps exceeding fifteen months and no sudden mileage jumps, implying light, regular use rather than neglect or fleet-style wear. Given the absence of flagged faults, the history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current and avoided the skipped consumable replacements that often appear as tyre or brake advisories. A clean sheet across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions suggests no recurring wear trends requiring correction. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the car. Low annual mileage paired with age raises the risk of dormant corrosion on structural members and underseal failure even when testers noted nothing. Verify the condition of rubber suspension components and brake calipers for perishing from standing, and confirm service records beyond MOT scope before purchase.
