Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific black Astra, pay close attention to the braking system. The most recent MOT in August 2026 flagged both rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. You should verify if these have been replaced since the test or negotiate a reduction in price to cover the cost of new discs and pads.
Check the condition of the tyres and suspension components. While the 2023 MOT noted several perishing tyres and minor damage to a shock absorber dust cover, these appear to have been addressed given the clean 2024 and 2025 records. Ensure the current tread depth and sidewall condition meet safety standards and that there are no signs of weeping from the shock absorbers.
With a small 999cc petrol engine, this Astra is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy should be competitive for a hatchback of this size.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for routine items like tyres and brake components, which have appeared in the MOT history. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on annual mileage.
Focus your physical inspection on the rear braking setup. Given the 2026 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs, check for any vibrations when braking or unusual noises from the rear wheels. It is worth checking the thickness of the pads alongside the discs.
Secondly, inspect the tyres thoroughly. The 2023 MOT history showed multiple instances of tyres cracking or perishing; ensure the current set does not show similar signs of age-related degradation. Finally, check the suspension for any visible damage to the shock absorber casings, referencing the minor issue noted in the 2023 record.
This 2018 Vauxhall Astra features a 999cc petrol engine and has covered 49,802 miles as of August 2026. This mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,744 miles per year, suggesting more frequent long-distance use. The MOT history shows a relatively clean recent record, though it has experienced minor component issues in the past.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.0% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and engine management issues.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- 1.4 Turbo (B14XFT/B14NET) LSPI / Piston DamageSerious
Low Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) risk on the 1.4 Turbo engines can cause catastrophic piston or ring-land damage. It is critical that the specific Dexos 1 Gen 2 oil formulation is used to prevent this.
- Clutch Pedal StickingModerate
The clutch pedal can stick to the floor or become slow to return due to failing hydraulic cylinders.
- 1.6 CDTi Timing Chain Rattle ("Whisper Diesel")Serious
The 1.6 CDTi engine is known for a severe timing chain rattle. The chain is located at the back of the engine (gearbox side), making replacement extremely expensive due to high labor (12-15 hours). A faulty tensioner causes a dry-start rattle that leads to chain stretch.
