2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DE09 OBZ

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 130,708 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed test on the same date with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in November 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly at 126,297, 121,081, and 114,421 miles respectively. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisory pattern across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2009 vehicle. The car covered roughly 5,000 miles per year between the 2022 and 2025 tests, reaching 130,708 miles from 114,421 over three years. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the sequence. The clean MOT history with zero advisories across all entries suggests the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test, though the absence of recorded faults limits insight into underlying wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 17-year age and 130,000-mile count. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but annual passes with no advisories do not confirm the condition of hidden components. Check for binding calipers and exhaust emissions during a road test. Given the duplicate 19 November 2025 entries, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the live test status before purchase. The clean record implies disciplined upkeep, yet older Vauxhalls merit scrutiny of subframe rust at this mileage.
