2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA59 NBO

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 December 2025 at 107,857 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. Annual mileage has stayed close to the expected average for a 2009 vehicle. The records show 77,638 miles in December 2021, rising to 86,030 by December 2022, 98,322 by December 2023, 104,973 by December 2024, and 107,857 by December 2025. The yearly increments sit between roughly 2,800 and 12,300 miles, with the heaviest use falling in 2022. No test gaps appear, and the DVSA data carries no advisories or failures at any point. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Seventeen years of service invites corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points even when testers logged nothing. Check coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for age-related fatigue, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. The absence of recorded faults suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though it does not confirm component condition. Given the low annual distances in 2024 and 2025, the car may have stood unused for periods, so scrutinise tyres for sidewall cracking and the brake calipers for binding after storage.
