Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2001 model year cars.
- Rear Axle Beam and Sill CorrosionSerious
Rust around the rear axle beam, spring seats, sills and floor edges is one of the biggest reasons Astra Gs disappear from the road.
- ECU and Wiring Water-Ingress FaultsModerate
Blocked scuttle drains and ageing connectors can upset the ECU and engine-bay wiring, causing poor running, non-starts or random warning lights.
- ABS Sensor and Module FaultsModerate
Corroded wheel-speed sensor wiring or ABS-module issues can leave the warning light on and turn a cheap hatch into an MOT headache.
