Agreed, the main downfall of the Mk1 Astra is bodywork, but don't overlook the general fact that if someone doesn't keep up to the mechanics of the vehicle there is a good chance that the body work will be poor too. It is sometimes a very good indicator.

Remember, lift carpets, lift everything and take something that you can prod with (Screwdriver Mark...!! laughing

)

There are a few buying guides out there and I haven't seen an inaccurate one yet.

Yep, you'll need to get under any car, check out suspension mounting points, inner wings, the critical points, these are the things to kill an astra. The rest can usually be sorted without too much hassle
