Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Focus on the service history to ensure the low mileage has been accompanied by regular oil changes. Given the recent MOT failure for perishing and cracking tyres, it is worth investigating if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods before the last test.
Negotiate based on the age of the remaining consumables and verify if the registration plate, which was noted as deteriorated in 2023, has since been replaced to avoid future MOT advisories.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a standard level of efficiency for its era, though it will not match the economy of newer, smaller turbocharged units. Insurance and road tax for this model are typically mid-range for the small family car category.
Annual costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance are estimated to be between £1,200 and £1,600, depending on the driver's profile and annual mileage.
Closely inspect all four tyres to ensure the replacements following the August 2026 failure are of a reputable brand. Check the fuel cap seal, which was flagged as perishing in 2023, to see if it has been replaced.
As tyres and headlamps are common failure points across the wider Astra model range, double-check all exterior lighting and the condition of the rubber seals around the vehicle.
This silver 2013 Vauxhall Astra has covered 67,472 miles, which is below the model average. Its MOT history shows clean passes in 2024 and 2025, although the August 2026 test required a set of new tyres and a bulb replacement to pass.
The Astra has a 78% average MOT pass rate, with tyres and headlamps being the most frequent points of failure across the model range.
