2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA09 NGF

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness record with its most recent test on 20 October 2022 returning a pass at 89,663 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the supplied history, and the vehicle cleared its final test cleanly. This indicates the car met minimum statutory standards at that point, though the record is now over three and a half years old relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. Mileage stands at 89,663 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 5,274 miles per year. The gap between the 8 October 2021 pass at 87,868 miles and the 20 October 2022 pass at 89,663 shows only 1,795 miles covered in that year. A short fail on 27 August 2021 at 87,858 miles preceded the October pass with no defects listed, suggesting the failure may have involved administrative or unrecorded minor matters rather than mechanical fault. The sparse three-entry history limits deep trend analysis but shows no corrosion, brake, or suspension advisories. A buyer should physically verify the structural integrity and underbody for corrosion given the car's 17-year age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes and degraded brake hoses. The tester logged no advisories, yet aged Vauxhall Astra subframes commonly suffer rust where moisture collects. Given the stale 2022 test, commission a fresh independent inspection before purchase. Check coil springs, brake disc condition, and exhaust emissions in person, as the record offers no evidence of upkeep since the last pass.
