Vauxhall Astra Gls I (1991)
1991 Vauxhall Astra Gls I
CarHunch is tracking 525 1991 Vauxhall Astra Gls I vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Vauxhall Astra GLS I has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%—every single vehicle in this cohort of 525 cars failed its MOT on first attempt. The complete absence of dangerous defects (0%) is the only bright spot, but the median reliability score of 50 out of 100 confirms these cars are in poor condition overall.
The lack of mileage data suggests these vehicles are so old they're rarely brought for testing, but the zero average failures and advisories recorded is a data anomaly rather than good news—it likely means the dataset is incomplete or these cars simply aren't being tested anymore. If you're considering a 1991 Astra of this age, assume you're buying a vehicle that will need significant work to pass MOT, and budget accordingly before purchase.
We have 525 1991 Vauxhall Astra Gls I vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1991 Vauxhall Astra Gls I
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.
