2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.8L Petrol · WJ59 XHD

The roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Astra is currently sound, supported by a stable maintenance trend that culminates in a clean pass on September 13, 2024, at 100,241 miles. The test history shows a complete absence of advisory notices or failure points across the four recorded examinations, indicating that previous operators maintained the vehicle to a passing standard without leaving neglected defects to compound over time. The mileage accumulation follows a consistent, low-usage trajectory that aligns with the vehicle age of seventeen years and a total of 100,241 recorded miles. Between the test on June 27, 2022, at 92,659 miles and the most recent test in September 2024, the vehicle covered roughly 7,500 miles over a span of slightly more than two years. This steady, modest annual mileage rate suggests the car saw regular, light domestic use rather than prolonged periods of storage or heavy commercial operation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on age-related wear rather than recurring MOT failures, given the unblemished test record. Rubber suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs require thorough scrutiny on a ramp because the 100,000-mile threshold typically brings fatigue to original factory dampening and mounting components. Brake discs and calipers also warrant careful examination for surface corrosion and binding, as low annual mileage patterns frequently allow moisture to pit friction surfaces and seize slider pins between annual tests.
