Which year to buy? →
The 2019 Vauxhall Astra passes its MOT more often than the UK average—86.1% versus 80%—which is a solid result, though petrol versions (88.1% pass rate) significantly outperform diesels (75.0%), suggesting diesel owners face more maintenance demands. Nearly one in five of these cars have had a dangerous defect flagged during testing, which is worth considering if you're buying one without full service history.
At around 32,000 miles median for a five-year-old car, these Astras are running below average mileage, yet they're still averaging 3.7 advisories per vehicle, pointing to wear items like brakes and suspension that need attention beyond major failures. Before purchasing, get a pre-sale inspection focused on the diesel engine's condition if you're drawn to that variant—the 13-point gap in pass rates suggests they're less forgiving of deferred maintenance.
The 2019 Vauxhall Astra passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (88.9%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
