# 2000 VAUXHALL ASTRA CD 16V – MOT Analysis
This 2000 Astra CD 16V is a serious reliability concern. With a first-time pass rate of just 1.2% against the UK average of 80%, these cars are failing their MOTs almost universally—and the petrol variants (120 of 122 vehicles) aren't performing any better at 0% pass rate. No dangerous defects have been recorded, which is the only saving grace, but the scale of failure here is exceptional.
At an average mileage of 118,604 miles for a 24-year-old car, these Astras are well-used, yet they're racking up failures despite averaging almost no recorded advisories per vehicle. If you're considering this specific model year and trim, budget heavily for immediate repairs before it passes an MOT—don't assume you've found a bargain just because the purchase price is low.
We have 122 2000 Vauxhall Astra Cd 16v vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2000 Vauxhall Astra Cd 16v
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
