2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · OV59 AXW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in February 2023 at 121,184 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a standard that met all minimum DVSA safety and environmental requirements without flagging immediate mechanical or structural failures during the final recorded inspection period. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between September 2019 and February 2023, the car covered 16,721 miles, showing steady and regular usage rather than long periods of stagnation. A notable gap exists between June and November 2021, where only 13 miles were recorded, suggesting a period of low use or a short-term sale during that window. The lack of high-mileage spikes suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to extreme stress levels associated with long-distance commuting. While the digital record is clean, a buyer must focus a physical inspection on age-related degradation common to the 2009 Astra. The record does not show historical rust or component wear, but the seventeen-year age increases the likelihood of corrosion on the subframe, rear mounting points, and brake lines. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes and control arm joints for cracking, as these often perish over time regardless of low mileage. Since the last recorded MOT was over three years ago, the current state of the tyres and brake pad thickness must be verified manually to ensure no significant issues have developed since the 2023 test.
