Why is my Vauxhall Astra making a strange grinding noise?

I recently purchased a used Vauxhall Astra and have noticed that it makes a strange grinding noise when I accelerate. It seems to be coming from the front of the car and gets louder as I go faster. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Hi Sarah, it sounds like you may have an issue with your brakes or wheel bearings. It's important to have this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure your safety on the road.

Hi Sarah, another possible cause could be a problem with your transmission. I would recommend taking your Astra to a certified mechanic for a thorough inspection and diagnosis.

Hi Sarah, have you recently changed your tires or had them rotated? It's possible that the noise is coming from uneven wear on your tires. I would suggest getting them checked and rotated if necessary.
