Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking
Given the high mileage of 123,650 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the 1956cc diesel engine has received regular oil changes. At this age and mileage, check if the timing belt (cambelt) and water pump have been replaced recently, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine type.
When inspecting the car, check for any signs of turbocharger wear or excessive smoke, which can be common in high-mileage diesel units. Negotiate based on the mileage; while the MOT record is currently clean, the high usage suggests more frequent wear on suspension components and consumables like brakes and tyres.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Astra is designed for longer journeys, offering better fuel economy on motorways compared to smaller petrol engines. However, expect higher running costs in terms of potential repairs due to the high mileage.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific engine CO2 output and the driver's profile, but generally, this model sits in a mid-range insurance group. Annual maintenance should be budgeted higher than average to account for the wear and tear associated with a vehicle that has covered over 120,000 miles.
Pay close attention to the parking brake, as the vehicle's only recorded MOT failure was due to parking brake efficiency in March 2023. Ensure the handbrake holds firmly on an incline.
Additionally, while this specific vehicle has had no recent defects, the aggregate data for this model shows frequent failures for headlamps, tyres, and inoperative engine miles. Inspect all lighting clusters and tyre tread depths, and verify that the odometer reading is consistent and functioning correctly.
This 2013 black Vauxhall Astra 1.9L diesel has covered 123,650 miles since its first registration in June 2013. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,744 miles per year, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests without any recorded defects. The history shows a single failure in March 2023 related to parking brake efficiency, which was rectified during that test.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including lighting, tyres, and engine mileage displays.
