2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FL09 AAK

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 8 April 2025 at 107,221 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,307 miles per year. The distance covered between the April 2023 test at 104,547 miles and the April 2025 test at 107,221 miles shows a low annual usage of approximately 1,337 miles. Such low recent activity can sometimes lead to issues with battery health or perished rubber components, though the MOT record shows no evidence of this. The history contains two instances where the vehicle failed immediately before passing on the same or following day, specifically on 3 April 2023 and 5 April 2024. While the records do not specify the reasons for these failures, the immediate resolutions indicate a proactive approach to rectifying faults. There are no recurring mentions of structural corrosion, suspension bush failure, or brake disc wear across the recent data. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, as this is a common failure point for Astras of this era that may not have been flagged in the most recent clean tests. Checking the condition of the tyres and brake pads is advised to ensure consumables have not degraded during the periods of low mileage. The lack of advisories in the 2025 test suggests the mechanical state is currently sound.
