Could suit you if…
- You regularly make longer journeys: diesel may fit that pattern better than a routine of mostly short trips. Compare actual running costs.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need room for several children or extra passengers: the seat count is not recorded. Confirm this exact version's seats and child-seat fit; do not assume from the model name.
- Most journeys are short school runs or local trips: check whether this diesel has a particulate filter and what longer runs its handbook requires.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2017 Astras on the Irish market use 1.6-litre style diesels with a manual gearbox; they’re economical on long commutes but can develop blocked DPFs or EGR carbon if used mainly for short trips. With a manual, clutch wear and turbo health are the things that commonly cost money at this age, so check for smooth gear engagement and any smoking or lag under load.
- DPF condition/regeneration history and signs of frequent short-trip use (check for long black/blue smoke on acceleration).
- EGR carbon build-up symptoms: rough idle, loss of low-end power or frequent limp-home mode.
- Clutch engagement and slipping (soft/late bite, excessive revs under load) — possible dual-mass flywheel/clutch wear on higher-mileage cars.
- Turbocharger play, whine or oil leaks around the turbo and inlet/exhaust pipes; test hard acceleration for smoke or lag.
- Underbody and rear-arch corrosion and suspension bushes (Irish roads and age can cause hidden rust and worn rear bushes).
