Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the low mileage and the history of tyre perishing and edge wear (noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024), you should check the date codes on the current tyres to ensure they are not aged. Low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods often suffer from tyre degradation even if the tread remains.
Check the service history for regular oil changes; diesel engines in low-use vehicles can be prone to sludge if service intervals are based solely on mileage rather than time. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any evidence of overdue scheduled maintenance.
The 1686cc diesel engine is designed for fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for longer commutes. Insurance groups for the Astra are typically moderate, and road tax will be based on its 2012 CO2 emissions bracket.
Maintenance costs should be standard for a vehicle of this age, though the recurring tyre issues seen in the history suggest a need for regular alignment checks. Estimated annual costs will cover diesel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for uneven wear or sidewall cracking, as the MOT history from 2021 to 2024 repeatedly highlighted tyres worn on the edges and perishing. This may indicate an alignment issue or long periods of inactivity.
Check the condition of the brake pads, specifically the nearside rear, which was noted as wearing thin (2-3mm) in 2022. Additionally, verify that all rear lighting is intact and functional, following a recorded cracked offside rear lamp in 2021.
This blue 2012 Vauxhall Astra diesel has recorded 54,041 miles as of September 2025, which is well below the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes, although there were recurring advisories regarding tyre wear and perishing between 2021 and 2024. The most recent MOT test on 25th September 2025 was a clean pass with no defects recorded.
The Astra has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0%, with tyres and headlamps being among the most frequent reasons for failure across the model range.
