Our Verdict
A reasonable choice for a budget hatchba
Your primary focus should be on the recent MOT advisories. Confirm whether the rear tyres, noted as cracking or perishing in November 2025, have been replaced. You should also verify if the corroding exhaust front flexi joint mentioned in 2024 has been repaired, as this is a common wear point that can lead to failure if left unattended.
Request documentation for any work carried out to address the 'not excessive' oil leak recorded in 2023. While not a failure, an unresolved leak can lead to higher oil consumption and potential engine bay grime. Ensure the service history aligns with the mileage increases seen between 2021 and 2025.
The 1.6L petrol engine offers a balance of performance and economy, though it will be less efficient than modern downsized turbo engines. Expect moderate fuel costs and a mid-range insurance group typical for the Astra model.
Annual costs will include the standard VED tax for a 2013 petrol vehicle and routine maintenance. Given the age and the recent advisories regarding tyres and exhaust components, you should budget for slightly higher maintenance costs in the first year of ownership. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Carefully inspect the rear tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as highlighted in the 2025 MOT. Check the front of the exhaust system, specifically the flexi joint, for significant corrosion or soot marks that would indicate a leak.
Under the bonnet, look for evidence of oil seepage around the engine gaskets to determine the current state of the leak noted in 2023. Additionally, check the headlamp lenses for any clouding or 'product' buildup, which was flagged in 2024, to ensure optimal light output for night driving.
This white 2013 Vauxhall Astra has recorded 98,471 miles, which is slightly above the model's average annual mileage. The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests without failure, though the most recent records highlight issues with tyre condition and exhaust corrosion. It represents a typical example of this 1.6L petrol variant in terms of usage and wear.
The Astra has a general MOT pass rate of 78%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, tyres, and engine management lights.
