Depreciation Insight
Depreciation is a crucial factor when assessing “used Vauxhall Astra price” and determining the long‑term value of your investment. On average, a brand‑new Astra tends to lose 15‑20% of its value within the first year after purchase. After that, the rate slows but remains steady:
- Year 2: 10‑12% depreciation
- Year 3–5: 4‑5% per year as the vehicle moves into the mid‑used segment
- After 5 years: 3‑4% annually, with the annual drop becoming marginal as the car approaches the 10‑year mark
These figures are based on historical sales data across the UK, EU, and Australian markets, and reflect typical changes in condition,, and demand.
