The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 87.5% first-time pass rate means roughly 13 in every 100 Vauxhall Astra Business Edition Nav T Ds presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Vauxhall Astra Business Edition Nav T D tested had covered 45,253 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Vauxhall Astra Business Edition Nav T D sits 10.8 points above the national average, ranked 1,059 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
