The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR ESTATE 1.4I 16V 90 SXI is a compact family estate, offering everyday usability and extra luggage room. In the UK used-car market, it sits between small hatchbacks and larger, pricier estates, making it a practical choice for buyers who need space without a bulky car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 look-ups covering 15 different VINs, so these figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. The cars checked averaged £800 in private-sale value, 123,000 miles and around 5,000 miles a year, with just under four previous keepers—helpful context when assessing an individual example. Its five doors and estate boot suit families, dog owners and commuters needing carrying space; the 90bhp 1.4 petrol is better for local and town use than regular motorway trips. Compared with Ford Focus and similar estates, the Astra is a familiar choice, with useful practicality and accessible used-car pricing.
