Our Verdict
A reasonable choice for a diesel hatchba
Verify the service history for regular oil changes and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) maintenance, which is essential for the 1.6L diesel engine. Given the 2024 MOT failure for worn and cut tyres, check the current brand and tread depth of all four tyres to ensure they have been replaced with quality replacements rather than budget alternatives.
Check for any evidence of recent repairs to the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), as this was a specific cause of failure in April 2024. Use the mileage—which is higher than the model average—as a point of negotiation regarding upcoming major service intervals.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, which should keep fuel costs manageable. Road tax will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this 2017 variant, and insurance typically falls into a mid-range group for this model.
Annual maintenance costs will likely include standard servicing and the eventual replacement of wear-and-tear items. Based on the engine size and fuel type, you should budget for typical diesel maintenance requirements.
Perform a detailed inspection of all four tyres, looking specifically for cuts in the sidewalls or uneven wear on the edges, reflecting the failures and advisories seen in 2023 and 2024. Ensure the TPMS light is not illuminated on the dashboard, as this was a recorded failure point for this vehicle.
Check the headlamps for any clouding or electrical faults, as headlamps are one of the top failure reasons for the Astra model aggregate. Finally, check the engine management light operation to ensure it functions correctly, as this is another common model-wide failure point.
This blue 2017 Vauxhall Astra Diesel has recorded 90,865 miles. While it suffered an MOT failure in April 2024 due to multiple tyre defects and had tyre advisories in 2023, the tests in 2025 and 2026 were passed with no defects recorded.
The Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with tyres and headlamps being among the most frequent reasons for failure across the model range.
