What is the typical engine life expectancy of a Vauxhall Astra?

I am planning to buy a used Vauxhall Astra and I have been told that their engines tend to have a shorter lifespan. Can someone with experience owning an Astra share their knowledge?

I have owned a Vauxhall Astra for over 10 years and I can say that the engine life expectancy depends on various factors. Regular maintenance and driving habits can significantly affect the lifespan of your engine. If you take care of your Astra, it can easily reach 200,000 miles or more.

I have heard that some Astra models in the past had engine issues, but the newer models have improved in this aspect. My Astra's engine has been running smoothly for 8 years now and I expect it to last for a few more years.

I have had a terrible experience with my Astra's engine. It constantly breaks down and I have spent a lot of money trying to fix it. My advice would be to research the specific model and year of the Astra you are planning to buy and check for any common engine problems.
