2008 Vauxhall Astravan: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 59% pass first time (all 2008 cars: 57%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 111 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 54% pass first time (all 2008 cars: 57%) Stands out: rigid brake pipes 2.5×, brake discs 1.6×, steering swivel joints 9.3× 2,465 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
