    Hi, I'm currently looking for a used 03 Astra SXI 1.6i

    Are there any bad points I should be looking for?

    Thanks

    At that age it should be under warranty unless its a grey import - so look
    out for it's origins.

    Otherwise its checks for crash damage, and check for goo under the oil
    filler cap. If it hasn't been cleaned-off regularly i.e. every week
    (accumulates during the cold weather) then it might have got into the valve
    gear. You can never tell what damage might have resulted.

    Handbrake travel can get excessive but that's easily fixed.

    Should handle well, and even without ABS brakes are good and steady.
