2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.2L Diesel · OU59 ACY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the data reflects a significant gap in testing. The most recent recorded test on 8 October 2021 at 151,818 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior at 151,778 miles that also listed no defects. This initial failure suggests an administrative error or a re-test anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Since the current date is June 2026, the vehicle has gone nearly five years without a recorded MOT test, which leaves its current mechanical state entirely unverified. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between April 2018 and October 2021, the car covered 22,983 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,600 miles annually during that period. The lack of advisories during these tests suggests that the previous owners did not subject the vehicle to heavy stress or neglect. However, the absence of any data since 2021 is a major concern, as it masks the current condition of the drivetrain and chassis components after five years of potential stagnation or use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the rear sills and subframe where Astra models are prone to corrosion. Given the age and the time since the last inspection, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished rubber or fatigue. The braking system also requires scrutiny for binding calipers or corroded brake discs, as long periods of inactivity often lead to seized components. Without a recent MOT record, there is no evidence that the exhaust emissions or lighting systems remain within legal limits.
