Why Vauxhall Astras end up off the road
- 1.4 and 1.6 timing chain stretch
- Water pump and thermostat housing leaks
- Rear axle and sill corrosion on the H
- Clutch and gearbox wear
- Electric power steering faults
Parts that still hold value
- Panels, doors and tailgates
- Engines and gearboxes
- SRi, VXR and GTC trim parts
- Alloy wheels
- Interiors and electrics
What moves the offer up or down
- VXR and GTC bodies are worth more
- Estates carry extra value in glass and tailgates
- Straight panels are the biggest single factor
