2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L Petrol · WV09 NEU

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the last five years of testing. The most recent MOT on 4 June 2025 at 101,797 miles shows a clean pass with no defects flagged. This indicates a steady trend of compliance, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum regulatory standards without recurring issues in the braking, steering, or lighting systems. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,988 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 78,695 miles in June 2021 to 101,797 miles in June 2025. This pattern suggests regular, light-duty usage rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate certain risks associated with age-related deterioration in rubber components and seals. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the low annual mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation that does not trigger an MOT failure. A physical inspection should focus on rubberised components such as suspension bushes, drive shafts, and engine mounts, which may be perishing due to time rather than mileage. Given the vehicle's age, checking for surface corrosion on the subframes and exhaust system is also prudent, as these often develop between testing intervals. The buyer should also verify the service history to complement these MOT results. Since the MOT record shows no issues with emissions or braking performance, the mechanical health appears sound on paper. However, a thorough check of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the brake discs is recommended to ensure the vehicle's actual condition matches the clean regulatory record.
