• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• VCA’s data has no Vauxhall versions for 2019 to 2023, so the years listed may leave out years the Vauxhall Astra VXR was on sale.
• These are the VCA listings we could match to the Vauxhall Astra VXR by name. The Vauxhall Astra page covers every version.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Astra GTC, Model Year 2012”, “Astra GTC, Model Year 2014”, “Astra GTC, Model Year 2016”, “New Astra, MY2005”. How we use VCA’s figures.

In 2025, 65.8% of Vauxhall Astra MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 68.1% of the time, so the Vauxhall Astra does worse than average for its age, by 2.3 points.

DVSA's MOT results name the model, not the version, so these figures cover all Vauxhall Astras tested, the VXR among them. For the full breakdown, including defects in detail and results year by year, see the Vauxhall Astra page.
