2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · FN59 YHW

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 21 February 2023 at 147,925 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, matching the prior pass on 24 January 2022 at 134,359 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults and no outstanding structural or emissions concerns in the official record. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2009 registration, averaging roughly 8,700 miles per year against the 147,925 miles recorded. The gap between the two tests shows 13,566 miles added over twelve months, a consistent and unremarkable accumulation that implies steady private or light commercial use rather than prolonged standing or harsh high-mileage cycling. The supplied history is sparse, covering only two consecutive passes with no failures, advisories, or intermediate entries to reveal consumable wear patterns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's seventeen-year age and 147,925-mile count, as these components degrade with time even without MOT flags. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is reassuring, yet DVSA testers only assess visible condition on the day. Verify the 2023 test remains the last entry and confirm no unrecorded 2024 or 2025 lapse has occurred, since the most recent pass is now over three years old relative to today's date. Check tyre tread depth, exhaust integrity, and underbody rust in person before purchase, as the clean record provides no evidence of deferred maintenance but equally no granular history of part replacement.
