Our Verdict
A functional example of a diesel Astra t
Prioritise checking the evidence of repairs for the issues flagged in the March 2026 MOT, specifically the corroded fuel pipes and the offside rear spring. The vehicle has a history of brake disc pitting and scoring (noted in 2024 and 2025), so verify if the discs have been replaced or merely cleaned.
Given the mileage is approaching 100,000, request full service records to ensure the diesel engine has been maintained. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for tyre replacement on the nearside front and the resolution of the windscreen damage mentioned in the last two MOT tests.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher annual mileages. Running costs will primarily consist of diesel fuel, standard VED tax for a 2015 diesel, and insurance based on the Astra's typical group rating.
Maintenance costs for this specific vehicle may be higher than average in the short term. The MOT history suggests a trend of suspension wear and brake degradation that will require ongoing financial provision.
Carefully inspect the rear suspension and coil springs; the nearside rear fractured in 2025 and the offside rear was noted as corroded in 2026. Check the fuel lines for signs of the corrosion mentioned in the most recent MOT report, as this is a critical safety item.
Examine the brake discs for pitting or scoring, and check the tread depth of the nearside front tyre, which was noted as being close to the legal limit in March 2026. Finally, inspect the windscreen for the damage recorded in the 2025 and 2026 tests to see if it requires replacement.
This grey 2015 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 diesel has recorded 96,759 miles. Its MOT history reveals a pattern of wear-and-tear, including a failure in March 2025 due to a fractured rear coil spring and parking brake adjustment. The most recent test in March 2026 passed but flagged concerns regarding corroded fuel pipes and a corroded offside rear spring.
The Astra has a 78% average MOT pass rate across nearly 800,000 analysed vehicles, with tyres and headlamps being the most frequent failure points.
