2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · DN09 KNZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted in June 2024 at 103,682 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum standard for road safety. Following a single failure in June 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record for three consecutive tests, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in addressing potential mechanical issues. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 103,682 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,100 miles per annum, which aligns with low-to-moderate driving patterns. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, such as roughly 3,800 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 3,300 miles prior that. This steady, low mileage accumulation reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear on heavy drivetrain components and suspension assemblies typically seen in high-mileage vehicles. While the digital record is clean, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on common failure points for a 2009 Vauxhall Astra. Given the age of the vehicle despite the low mileage, structural integrity remains a priority, specifically checking the sills and wheel arches for corrosion or perforation. The buyer should also examine the condition of rubber suspension bushes and control arm bolts, as these can perish and crack over time regardless of the few miles driven. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or pitted discs is also advisable to ensure the clean history reflects the actual mechanical state of the vehicle.
