Its Keighley Trade Centre selling it, so a very high chance its been spanked, given the condition of some of the cars they sell.

Doesnt look like it, the owner might have just decided they prefered that one. The bumper doesnt line up with the arch and doesnt sit well with the front light but the washer bottle seems to sit right. Only way to tell is to go have a look in person

Being critical, the back and front bumpers look a different coulour from the pictures, not just a bit off, could very well have been.

Their reputation would lead me to believe it has.

Had a closer loo at pics,

Vac pipes coming off the turbo have a different route to the one they should have, and the front bumper doesn't line up very well.

Staying clear.

It has a different battery as well, I very much doubt a car of 26,000 miles just over 3 years old would require a new battery.

Dodgy as fuck.

Keighley are well known for importing write offs, bodging them together to sell them on here as Mint Imports. Can almost garantee that Astra has some bad history!
