Quick summary

Total: 349 cars

The 1995 Vauxhall Astra has an overall defect rate of 350 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 7.3% higher than the average for cars of the same year. Notably, the Astra performs better than average in categories such as Lights & Electrics and Equipment, showing significant reductions in defects. However, it has a considerably higher incidence of defects in the Wheels, Suspensions & Axles category, which is a point of concern. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates increase with higher mileage, particularly in the 124,000+ miles segment, suggesting that older vehicles may face more challenges as they age.
