Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Your primary focus should be the tyres. The October 2025 MOT noted that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges; verify if these have been replaced since the test. Additionally, check the service records to ensure the 1.6L diesel engine has been serviced at the recommended intervals, as this is critical for long-term engine health.
When negotiating, use the recurring tyre issues as a point of discussion. While the MOT pass record is consistent, the need for frequent tyre replacements—including a 2022 advisory for perishing tyres—suggests a need for a thorough check of the current rubber's age and condition.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage drivers. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though you should check the specific Euro emissions standard for this 2017 model to determine any potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges.
Insurance and road tax will be typical for a vehicle of this class and age. Maintenance costs are generally moderate, but as seen in the MOT history, tyre wear is a recurring expense for this specific car. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Conduct a detailed inspection of all four tyres. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear, specifically 'worn on edge' for the front tyres in 2025 and 'cracking or perishing' across all tyres in 2022. Check for uneven wear, which could indicate an alignment issue.
Reference the model's aggregate data and check the headlamps and the engine management light for correct operation, as these are top failure reasons for the Astra. Finally, ensure the child seat mentioned in the 2025 MOT is removed so you can fully inspect the condition and operation of the adult seatbelts.
This silver 2017 Vauxhall Astra 1.6L diesel has recorded 70,666 miles as of its most recent MOT in October 2025. The vehicle has a clean record of five passes and zero failures. However, the MOT history indicates a recurring pattern of tyre-related advisories that require attention.
The Vauxhall Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with tyres and headlamps being the most common causes of failure.
