2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA59 UYF

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 11 December 2025 at 77,185 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester issued no defects at that test. A failed attempt on 10 December 2025 at the same mileage carries no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared the retest one day later. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 2009 vehicle. It covered 53,319 miles by 15 December 2022, rose to 63,717 by 22 November 2023, then 70,063 by 16 December 2024, and reached 77,185 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 4,540 miles per year. The gaps between tests are annual and consistent. The DVSA record shows no advisories or defects across any entry, so the dataset is clean but sparse on mechanical detail. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car's seventeen years regardless of low mileage. Prolonged standing between short trips can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and brake components even when the MOT shows clear. Examine the underside for rust and check tyre sidewalls for perishing from age rather than wear. The absence of recorded faults implies prior owners kept the Astra to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect. Low annual mileage reduces drivetrain strain but does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation. Verify service history independently before purchase.
