Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the extremely low mileage for a 12-year-old vehicle, the primary focus should be on the effects of inactivity. Check the service history to ensure oil and filters were changed based on time intervals rather than just mileage, as old oil can degrade even if the car isn't driven.
Negotiate based on the age of the consumables. While the mileage is low, rubber components like tyres and belts can perish over time regardless of distance covered. Ensure there is evidence of recent battery replacement or maintenance, as vehicles with such low annual usage are prone to battery drain.
The 1598cc petrol engine offers a balance of usability and cost, though it will be less fuel-efficient than modern downsized turbocharged engines. Insurance groups for the Astra are typically moderate, making it an accessible choice for a wide range of drivers.
Annual costs will include road tax based on the 2013 CO2 emissions bracket and standard petrol fuel costs. Maintenance should be relatively straightforward given the model's ubiquity, with parts being widely available across the UK.
Inspect the fuel cap seal, as this was specifically flagged as cracking in the 2021 MOT record. While the more recent tests are clean, it is worth verifying that this was addressed. Check the condition of the tyres for 'flat spots' or cracking in the sidewalls, which can occur when a car sits for long periods.
Referencing aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps and the engine management light (MIL) functionality, as these are among the most common failure points for the Astra across the wider UK fleet. Ensure all exterior lighting is fully operational during your inspection.
This 2013 Grey Vauxhall Astra is a rare find with exceptionally low mileage, recording just 22,767 miles as of September 2025. Between 2021 and 2025, the vehicle has passed every MOT test, with only one minor advisory noted in 2021. It represents a low-usage example of a common hatchback with a consistent testing record.
The Vauxhall Astra has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 78.0% across nearly 800,000 analysed vehicles.
