2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN59 KGG

The Vauxhall Astra passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 215,036 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test four days earlier on 3 March 2026 at 214,984 miles produced a failure with no defects listed, and an identical fail-with-no-defects pattern occurred on 4 March 2025 at 210,080 miles. Such repeated administrative failures without recorded faults suggest clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worsening mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 215,036 over roughly 17 years equates to about 12,649 miles per year, which is high for a 2009 vehicle and points to sustained daily use. The odometer moved from 203,934 miles at the February 2024 test to 210,080 by March 2025, then to 215,036 by March 2026, showing consistent annual accumulation near the long-term average. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear in the data. The sparse history with clean passes and no advisories means wear-level detail is limited, so the record alone gives little insight into component condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and high mileage, as these items commonly degrade without triggering MOT advisories on this model. The two fail-with-no-defect entries in March 2025 and March 2026 warrant confirmation that no genuine fault was suppressed at test time. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked directly, since the DVSA entries record no corrosion assessment despite the vehicle's 17-year lifespan.
