Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and ensure immediat
If you are considering this Astra, your first priority should be negotiating the price down to account for the immediate need for two new front tyres, as noted in the September 2026 MOT. You should also ask for evidence that the brake pipe corrosion identified in July 2025 has been professionally rectified, as brake system integrity is critical.
Request a full service history to see how the 1956cc diesel engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belts or water pumps which are common maintenance items for this engine size. Given the high mileage relative to the age, check for any signs of suspension wear beyond the broken coil spring noted in 2024.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Astra is designed for higher mileage, offering better fuel economy on motorways than smaller petrol variants, though it will be subject to higher tax and insurance groups. Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular diesel filter changes and brake component replacements.
Expect typical running costs to be moderate, but be mindful that at nearly 93,000 miles, larger components like the turbocharger or clutch may eventually require investment. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is roughly £1,400-£1,700 depending on annual mileage.
Specifically inspect the tyres; the most recent MOT (03/09/2026) highlighted that both nearside and offside front tyres are worn close to the legal limit. This suggests a potential need for immediate expenditure.
You must also inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of the brake pipe corrosion that was recorded in the 2025 MOT. Check the suspension components thoroughly, as the 2024 MOT failure for a fractured nearside rear coil spring indicates that suspension parts may be reaching the end of their service life.
This 2013 grey Vauxhall Astra 1.9 diesel has covered 92,951 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,744 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in 2024 for a fractured coil spring and a 2025 advisory regarding corroded brake pipes. Most recently, in September 2026, the vehicle passed but was flagged for both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit.
Aggregate data from nearly 800,000 Vauxhall Astra tests shows a 78% average MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, tyres, and engine management lights.
