I'm looking to purchase a used Vauxhall Astra and I want to know how many miles I can expect from the engine before it needs to be replaced. Are there any specific models or years that have a shorter or longer lifespan? Thanks.
ReplyBased on our research and customer feedback, the average lifespan for a Vauxhall Astra engine is around 150,000 miles. However, this can vary depending on maintenance and driving habits. It's important to make sure the car has been regularly serviced and properly taken care of to ensure the longest possible lifespan from the engine.
I recommend looking for a Vauxhall Astra with a diesel engine as they tend to have a longer lifespan compared to petrol engines. Additionally, make sure to check the car's service history and look for any red flags. A car that has been well-maintained will likely have a longer engine lifespan.
I've owned a Vauxhall Astra for over 10 years and have put over 200,000 miles on the engine without any major issues. In my experience, regular oil changes and proper maintenance are key to prolonging the engine's lifespan. As for specific models or years, I've found that the newer Astra models tend to have a slightly longer engine lifespan.
