I sniff someone who'll be doing a bit or shall way say a lot of *fronting* 
Yes, but knowing her I'll be driving it more most likely.
Back on topic Is it a good deal ect and also how should I get the car checked out?

Don't have any other option to be honest mate when I'm getting crazy quotes of 7k as me as main driver.

7k means you shouldn't be driving or move areas...
Good luck a long your fronting trail

Then the policy should be in your name...
It would be awful for you to spend 9k on a car and then ditch it in a hedge, only for your insurance company to investigate and decide you were fornting....

No its a terrible car buy something else that isnt a 12 grand astra
You what?! It's a good car to be illegally driving
No it doesnt because if you have just started driving you are likely to ding it, crash it or write it off and because you are insurance fronting, you might not get an insurance pay out if you do. You will have therefore thronw away
9k.

Mums second car, that is for her son to front in
Basically buy something old and decrepid and do things the honest way. Or turn Glasgow in to a nicer area, A magic wand wont work

this will end horribly.
No matter what you say (almost evreyone has) YOU WILL DING OR CRASH in the first year of driving, of course many don't but far more do. I cant emphasis that enough..
Now becuase you will be illegally fronting if you ding or dent this expensive 10 plate astra you can bet your bottom dollar the insurance company will not be paying out if you were driving it.
Will your mum be happy with you then?
get something cheaper and insurable.
a 1.4 astra is just rubbish no matter what price or circumstance

Poor value, illegal insurance fronting, just get aa hpi, has manufacture warranty, now get out of motors till you can afford to drive legally.
Is this serious 7k to insure a 1.4 astra at 19? I have two vauxhalls one is an 08plate 1.8vvt twin top design (group 18) which at 26 I only pay £360 a year to insure. When I was 19 I was driving a mk 6 escort cabriolet (group 17) with declaired mods including a new 2.0 engine, exhaust, ford rs kit and st170 rims, for that I was paying about £1300 to insure.
Are you seriously telling us that an insurance company are asking for 7k to insure a group 9, 87bhp, 1545kg hatch?

If its your first car save the money of spending 9k on a car.
Buy something classic. Old golfs, polos, minis etc. You'll pick up something in good nick for a grand or so, it'll also mean you can insure it on classic insurance in your own name for a great deal less. Your astra would cost me £4200 to insure, my golf £1300
Please see some sense.
You'll thank us in twelve months time when you've either wrote off your astra or want to get your own policy and still can't afford it.
