The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2009-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.3 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF EU5 95 ES is a five-door family hatchback in the UK’s mainstream market, competing with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It provides practicality with room for passengers and shopping, making it a useful step up from a city car. The 1.3 CDTI Ecoflex diesel is aimed at economical, steady-distance motoring, so it may suit commuters and budget-conscious households; its modest power favours relaxed driving over brisk acceleration. Mycarcheck has recorded 419 look-ups covering 210 distinct VINs, a substantial sample that gives buyers useful real-world context for this Astra version. Those checks show an average mileage of 124,000, 9,000 miles annually, and nearly three keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £2,100. These figures suggest an affordable used-car option, but condition and service history matter. The five-door Astra’s cabin and economical focus make it a familiar, practical rival to family hatchbacks.
