Looking at high-mileage Astra.

Im looking at 2010Opel Astra 1.7 nct since 4/19 to 4/20. Miles 317klm is that alot.price at 3250 euro. I don't want to buy a bad car. Has extras on car not too pushed about that.

Our answer:

Hi Claire,

That Astra is priced fairly and, if you’re on a budget, then it might be worth a roll of the dice – the fact it has nearly a year’s NCT is promising and if the history looks OK, it should do you for a year or so. But you have to accept most Astras of that era won’t have gone beyond 200,000km, so you’re almost certainly looking at an ex-private hire vehicle – or a taxi, in other words.
