2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DA59 YPZ

The Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 106,395 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The only anomaly is a failed test on 16 May 2025 at 106,392 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified eleven days later. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,259 miles per year against the 106,395 miles recorded. The gap between the 28 September 2022 test at 91,071 miles and the 27 September 2023 test at 95,509 miles shows only 4,438 miles covered, with a similar 3,502 miles added by 7 June 2024 at 99,011 miles. A sharper rise of 7,384 miles occurred before the May 2025 tests, but the overall pattern reflects light, consistent use rather than neglect or excessive wear. No recurring faults, corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects appear in the DVLA MOT data, so the record implies conscientious upkeep by previous owners with no skipped tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs given the car's age, as these items fall outside MOT fail thresholds until significantly degraded. Verify the May 2025 failure reason in person, since the blank defect entry warrants confirmation that no hidden mechanical issue was present.
