Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this Astra, focus on the service history of the 1.6 diesel engine, ensuring oil changes have been performed at regular intervals. You should negotiate the price based on the January 2026 MOT advisory, which noted that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit.
Check whether the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) lamp mentioned in the December 2024 test is still illuminated, as this indicates a sensor fault or a pressure imbalance that needs addressing. Ensure all electronic components are functioning, as lighting issues are common across this model range.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, though urban driving may increase fuel consumption. Tax and insurance will be moderate, typical for a vehicle of this age and engine size in the UK market.
Maintenance costs for this vehicle will likely increase as it nears the 100,000-mile mark. Buyers should budget for potential diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning or replacement and general wear-and-tear items like brake pads and discs.
Prioritise an inspection of the front tyres, as the most recent MOT record from January 2026 specifically flagged them as worn on the edges and close to the legal limit. Verify the status of the TPMS lamp noted in the 2024 test to ensure the system is now operational.
Given that headlamps are a top failure reason for this model according to aggregate data, check all exterior lighting for cracks or malfunctions. Finally, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay, which is standard practice for diesel vehicles of this mileage.
This silver 2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Diesel has recorded 93,659 miles. Its MOT history is notably consistent, showing five consecutive passes between 2021 and 2026. While there have been minor advisories regarding tyres and the TPMS system, the absence of major failures makes this a stable proposition.
The Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with the most frequent failures relating to headlamps and tyres.
