Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The primary focus for a buyer should be the May 2026 MOT failure. You should request detailed receipts for the repairs carried out to resolve the engine management light (MIL) and the high carbon monoxide emissions to ensure a permanent fix was implemented rather than a temporary measure.
Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and spark plug replacements, as these are critical for maintaining the emissions standards of the 1.4L petrol engine. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure the timing belt or chain intervals have been adhered to according to manufacturer specifications.
The 1398cc petrol engine provides a balance of urban usability and motorway capability, with fuel economy typical for a small family hatchback of this era. Insurance groups for the Astra are generally moderate, making it an accessible option for various driver profiles.
Annual costs will include road tax, insurance, and routine maintenance. Given the vehicle's age and the recent emissions-related failure, you should budget for slightly higher maintenance costs to ensure the exhaust and engine systems remain compliant.
Carefully inspect the dashboard for any active warning lights and request a diagnostic scan of the ECU to ensure the engine management light issue from May 2026 is fully resolved. Check the exhaust system for signs of leaks or poor-quality repairs that could lead to a recurrence of the carbon monoxide failures.
Additionally, examine the tyres, particularly the nearside front. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 both noted damage or perishing on this specific tyre, which may indicate an alignment issue or a pattern of neglect regarding tyre replacement.
This grey 2013 Vauxhall Astra has covered 66,341 miles, which is below the model average of 6,744 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing with minor tyre advisories until May 2026, when it failed on exhaust emissions and an engine management light before passing on the same day.
The Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78%, with aggregate data showing common failures typically related to headlamps, tyres, and engine management lights.
