2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.9L Diesel · LL09 LXF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of immediate rectification. The most recent MOT test in September 2022 at 106,326 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at nearly identical mileage. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults immediately to ensure legal compliance. Since that 2022 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without further reported failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with low-to-mid-range usage, averaging approximately 6,254 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 93,095 miles in April 2020 to 106,326 miles in September 2022. This gap of roughly 13,000 miles over two years indicates regular usage which often helps prevent mechanical components from seizing. However, the last recorded test took place nearly four years ago, meaning the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual inspection and the current mechanical state cannot be verified through historical DVSA data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Astra models of this era are prone to corrosion. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, checking the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these may have perished despite the low travel. Because the MOT record is now outdated, a thorough check of the brake discs for pitting and the exhaust system for structural rust is required to ensure no significant degradation has occurred during the long interval since the last recorded test.
