2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.7L Diesel · FN59 WXB

The Vauxhall Astra shows a stable maintenance trend with a current roadworthy status. The most recent test on 14 April 2023 at 112,192 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a failure with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 14 March 2022 test at 107,730 miles passed cleanly. The vehicle has therefore presented a clean MOT sheet across its two most recent annual cycles. Mileage sits at 112,192 against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 6,600 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of car. The gap between the March 2022 test at 107,730 miles and the April 2023 test at 112,192 miles shows only 4,462 miles covered in thirteen months, indicating light annual use. The record is sparse with just two years of data supplied, and no advisories or consumable wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes were flagged at either examination. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the car is seventeen years old and Vauxhall Astras of this era are prone to subframe and sill rust where moisture collects. The absence of advisories on the 2022 and 2023 tests does not confirm component health, only that the tester found nothing exceeding fail thresholds on the day. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or fatigue that a low-mileage year may have concealed through standing. Verify the exhaust emissions and undertray condition in person, since the clean MOT history offers no insight into deferred maintenance beneath the test limits.
