Our Verdict

This is a solid, low-mileage Vauxhall Astra that we can recommend with confidence for a budget-conscious buyer. The only notable history is a single 2023 MOT failure for a cut front tyre, which was addressed and the car has passed every test since.

When viewing this Astra, ask to see the paper or digital MOT certificates and any service invoices; the low 30,390-mile figure is a strong selling point but should be backed by regular servicing to confirm engine and gearbox health. The 2023 failure was solely a tyre cut, so confirm the front tyres were replaced and not merely rotated, and check that the offside front brake binding noted in 2023 has not returned by feeling for pull under gentle braking on a quiet road. As no aggregate reliability data is available for this model, lean on the individual history here which is reassuring, and use the clean recent MOTs to negotiate on price if the seller is asking top book for a 2017 hatchback.
