2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · KM59 HHF

The Vauxhall Astra presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 223,498 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since December 2022. The maintenance history shows no advisories or recurring faults across the available record, indicating the vehicle has met minimum statutory standards without flagged wear to suspension, brakes, or structure. The odometer reads 223,498 miles against a 2009 build date, equating to roughly 13,147 miles per year. Annual increments stay consistent: 208,900 miles in December 2022, 213,345 in December 2023, 218,210 in December 2024, and 223,498 in December 2025. The yearly uplift of around 4,500 to 5,300 miles reflects steady private or light-duty use rather than high-stress commercial cycling. A failed entry on 2 December 2022 at 208,900 miles carries no recorded defect, suggesting an administrative or test-process rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the same-day pass confirming roadworthiness. Given the sparse but clean record, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related items the MOT does not deeply assess. At 17 years old and over 223,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion warrant close examination. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation should be verified, as the tests logged no measurements beyond a pass. The absence of advisories across four years implies previous owners addressed issues pre-test or the car wore conservatively. High mileage elevates drivetrain risk unseen in MOT data. A pre-purchase check of exhaust emissions under load and structural integrity at sill and arch points remains prudent before purchase.
