2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · FE09 AAK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-04-11 at 112,710 miles, shows a pass with no defects recorded. However, this test predates the current date by over 15 months, meaning the car is now legally unroadworthy without a valid MOT. The history reveals a pattern of repeated testing on the same date, with both pass and fail outcomes listed for 2025-04-11 and 2024-04-15, which raises questions about the accuracy of the records. No specific mechanical or structural issues were flagged in any test, but the lack of recent data and the inconsistency in entries suggest potential gaps in maintenance tracking. The vehicle’s mileage of 112,710 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,630 miles, which is typical for its 17-year age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals of roughly one year, but the absence of records beyond 2025-04-11 indicates a possible lapse in compliance. The 2023-04-12 test at 101,030 miles recorded a pass with no defects, and the 2024-04-15 tests at 107,963 miles also showed no issues. These results suggest the car maintained roadworthiness in prior years, though the lack of recent data limits confidence in its current condition. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s current MOT status and inspect for signs of wear in components prone to gradual deterioration, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The absence of advisories or failures in the recorded tests implies no critical faults, but the expired MOT and inconsistent records necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Pay particular attention to corrosion, exhaust emissions, and steering alignment, as these can develop over time without immediate detection. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks evidence of recurring mechanical issues, but the lack of up-to-date testing remains a significant concern.
