Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Verify the service history to ensure the 1.4L engine has received regular oil and filter changes, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness rather than mechanical health. Given the low annual mileage, it is advisable to check the battery health and look for any signs of deterioration caused by periods of inactivity. Negotiate the price based on the completeness of the service book, as the MOT data does not provide a full maintenance picture.
The 1.4L petrol engine provides a balance of urban efficiency and motorway capability, typically sitting in a mid-range insurance group for small family cars. Road tax is based on the 2013 CO2 emissions standards, which generally remain affordable for this specific engine variant. Maintenance costs are typically kept low due to the high availability of parts for the Astra across the UK.
Inspect the dashboard for any active warning lights, specifically those relating to the airbag system, following the failure recorded in July 2024. While the vehicle passed its subsequent tests, it is important to ensure the system remains functional. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model in aggregate data.
This silver 2013 Vauxhall Astra has covered 69,961 miles, placing it below the typical annual average for its age. The MOT history shows four passes and one failure in 2024, which was rectified within two days. The three most recent tests from 2024 to 2026 have been completed with no defects recorded.
The Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with the most common failures involving headlamps, tyres, and engine management lights.
