2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DE09 OEC

The 2009 Vauxhall Astra presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 121,559 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the last four annual examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,151 miles per year. The records show 111,411 miles in the November 2022 pass, rising to 115,680 by December 2023, 118,813 by December 2024, and 121,559 by December 2025. The step from 111,398 to 111,411 between the two November 2022 entries reflects a same-week failure and retest with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data. The clean advisory history across every recorded test means the MOT file gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as a pass with no defects does not confirm component life remaining beyond the test date. Given the vehicle's age and the absence of flagged wear items, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current without neglect. The sparse, defect-free record offers reassurance, but independent verification of consumables and structural integrity remains prudent before purchase.
