The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.3 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 95 EU5 SRI is a practical, five-door family hatchback in the UK’s popular mainstream compact-car class. It offers more room and everyday versatility than a small city car, while remaining easier to park and run than a larger family car. The mycarcheck.com snapshot covers just one lookup and one VIN, so its figures are useful clues rather than a reliable picture of every Astra. That record shows an average private-sale valuation of £2,600, 86,000 miles and 5,000 miles a year; it also lists eight previous keepers, worth checking against the car’s history and condition. Its 1.3-litre diesel suits commuters and drivers seeking affordable running, while SRI trim gives it a sportier feel. Against Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf rivals, the Astra is an all-rounder: roomy, comfortable and straightforward, making this used Vauxhall Astra hatchback worth considering after checks.
