2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DA59 VHC

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 9 January 2026 at 130,263 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester logged no defects at that examination. A failure was recorded one day earlier on 8 January 2026 at the same mileage, yet no specific defects were cited, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded correction rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 7,663 miles against the car's 2009 build, a typical figure for this age. The records show 122,650 miles on 8 January 2025, 113,126 on 4 January 2024, and 106,914 on 28 December 2022, giving a steady yearly increment near 8,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation. A gap exists before the 2022 entry, leaving earlier wear undocumented, but the post-2022 data is clean and free of advisories. The absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake discs points to no recurring mechanical trend in the supplied history. The same-day fail and pass in January 2026 without listed defects implies the prior owner resolved whatever prompted the rejection before retest. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, coil springs, and brake caliper operation given the vehicle's seventeen years. Verify the January 2026 failure cause through the full DVSA certificate, as the blank defect field offers no technical detail on the rejected component.
