2009 Vauxhall Astravan 1.3L Diesel · BF09 ADZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-04-01 at 181,481 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This follows a failed test on 2025-03-21 at 181,426 miles, which also listed no defects. The prior tests from 2024 and 2023 showed consistent passes with no recorded issues. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged in the last five tests. However, the gap between the latest MOT and the current date (2026-07-17) exceeds 15 months, which is beyond the standard annual requirement, suggesting potential lapses in compliance or recent inactivity. The vehicle’s mileage of 181,481 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 10,675 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT records show no significant gaps in testing, with intervals of approximately 12 months between 2022 and 2024. The 2025 tests, however, were spaced just 10 days apart, with minimal mileage progression (55 miles) between the failed and passed results. This suggests the failed test may have been a technicality or retest, though no defects were recorded. The data is otherwise clean, with no indications of rapid wear or irregular maintenance patterns. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly for rust or corrosion, given its age. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may show wear, as well as brake systems, which are critical for older vehicles. The exhaust system and emissions compliance should also be verified, as older cars often face stricter standards. While the MOT history shows no immediate red flags, the lack of recent testing and the vehicle’s high mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection of key mechanical and body components.
