2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA58 BEO

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 141,086 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,299 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, increasing from 125,726 miles in October 2023 to 141,086 miles by November 2025. This indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the data suggests a well-kept car, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion. Vauxhalls of this era often suffer from structural rust that may not always be flagged if the vehicle has been recently undersealed or if the tester was lenient. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes. Given the mileage, these components are likely nearing the end of their natural service life regardless of the clean MOT history. A manual check of the tyre tread depths and a review of the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements will confirm if the previous owner followed a proactive maintenance schedule or merely addressed faults immediately before the annual test.
