2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA09 YHC

The Vauxhall Astra presents a current roadworthy status with a passed test recorded on 1 April 2022 at 152,215 miles, and the limited history shows a stable maintenance trend with no advisories or defects logged at that examination. The preceding day's failure on 31 March 2022 at 152,165 miles is anomalous, as the tester recorded no defects yet issued a fail, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer stood at 152,215 miles at the April 2022 test, equating to roughly 8,954 miles per year across the vehicle's seventeen years, a figure in line with typical use for a 2009 hatchback. The record shows only a fifty-mile increment between the two March/April 2022 entries, and no earlier tests are supplied, so the dataset is sparse and offers no evidence of rapid accumulation or prolonged standing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, given the car's age and the absence of any advisory history to confirm these areas were checked. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant physical measurement, as the clean MOT gives no assurance beyond the test date and the vehicle has now been untaxed for over four years relative to today's date in July 2026. The mismatch between the 31 March failure and 1 April pass with identical mileages suggests the prior owner resolved a non-mechanical rejection swiftly, but the long lapse since testing means consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition will almost certainly require renewal before road use.
