Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Prospective buyers should verify the service history for the 1.2L turbo engine to ensure intervals have been met, especially given that the mileage is higher than the model average. Check if the 'slight play' in the offside front suspension arm ball joint noted in the August 2025 MOT has been rectified, as this is a wear-and-tear item that will eventually require replacement.
When negotiating, use the higher-than-average mileage as a talking point. Ensure all documentation for the Griffin Edition's specific features is present and that the vehicle has been maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines.
The 1199cc petrol engine is designed for a balance of efficiency and performance, and its Euro 6 AP status ensures it meets current emissions standards for UK low-emission zones. Insurance costs for the Griffin Edition typically fall into a mid-range group, making it accessible for a wide variety of drivers.
Typical maintenance will involve regular oil changes and the replacement of consumables. Based on the model's profile, expect annual costs to be driven primarily by fuel and insurance, with occasional outlays for tyres and brake pads.
Pay close attention to the offside front suspension arm ball joint, as the MOT history specifically identifies this as a point of wear. A test drive should be used to listen for any knocks or clicks from the front end that would indicate the 'slight play' has worsened.
Additionally, inspect the condition of the brake pads and tyres. Aggregate data for 2,578 similar vehicles shows these are the most frequent causes of MOT failure for this model. Check the silver paintwork for any age-related blemishes and ensure the interior shows wear consistent with approximately 50,000 miles.
This silver 2021 Vauxhall Astra Griffin Edition Turbo has a recorded history of two MOT tests, both of which resulted in passes. As of August 2025, the vehicle has covered 49,897 miles, which exceeds the model aggregate average of 6,740 miles per year. The most recent test included one advisory regarding the front suspension.
This model demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 89.3% across 2,578 analysed vehicles.
