Our Verdict
A rare, low-mileage example of a classic Astra that has been sparingly used. While it presents well on paper, the history of persistent corrosion advisories requires a thorough underbody check.
Given the extremely low mileage for a 1998 model, this car may have suffered from 'disuse syndrome'—where seals dry out and fluids degrade. Prioritise a review of the service history to ensure the oil and coolant have been changed regularly regardless of the low mileage.
Negotiate based on the state of the brake system. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of corroded brake pipes from 2017 through to 2020. You should confirm if these pipes were fully replaced or simply treated, as this is a critical safety component for a vehicle of this vintage.
