Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol Astra, focus on the tyre condition. The 2024 MOT record highlighted both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit, so ensure the current set has ample tread and is not wearing unevenly on the edges.
Check the service history to see if the 1598cc engine has received regular oil changes, as this is vital for long-term reliability in petrol models. Given the model aggregate data suggests headlamps and engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) are common failure points, verify that all exterior lighting is functional and that no warning lights appear on the dashboard during a test drive.
The 1.6L petrol engine typically sits in a moderate insurance group, making it accessible for various driver profiles. Fuel economy for this era of Astra is generally acceptable for mixed driving, though it will be higher than modern diesel counterparts.
Maintenance costs for Vauxhall models are typically straightforward due to the high availability of parts. You should budget for periodic consumables like tyres, which were noted as an issue in the 2024 MOT, and standard servicing. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, fall in the mid-range for a petrol hatchback of this age.
Start by examining the tyres. The 2024 MOT failure specifically noted the nearside front tyre was at 2.5mm and the offside front was at 2mm; ensure the current tyres are well within legal limits and not showing signs of alignment issues through uneven wear.
Next, inspect the headlamps. As headlamps are listed as a top failure reason for this model aggregate, check for any clouding, moisture ingress, or bulb failures. Finally, monitor the dashboard for any engine management lights, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a common failure reason for this model type in the wider dataset.
This 2013 Vauxhall Astra (LL63PKK) presents with 64,564 miles on the clock, which is relatively low for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent test in November 2025 recording no defects. While there was a minor issue with tyre wear in 2024, the vehicle has maintained a steady mileage progression over the last five years.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to lighting, tyres, and engine management lights.
