2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FL09 OAJ

This Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent inspection. The test on 2 April 2026 at 146,740 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing subsequent tests after initial failures, suggesting the owner addresses required repairs promptly to ensure the vehicle meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,632 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 127,236 miles and the April 2026 test at 146,740 miles shows a steady usage rate of approximately 9,750 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden degradation from standing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No specific mechanical failures, such as worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, or brake disc corrosion, appear in the recorded data. The failures on 27 March 2024 and 19 March 2025 were resolved almost immediately, though the records do not specify the exact nature of those defects. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on common age-related weaknesses not always captured in a basic MOT. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the 146,740 mile odometer reading, a manual check of the clutch bite point and the condition of the drivetrain mounts is advised to ensure no excessive wear has developed beyond the scope of the DVSA tests.
