The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 CDTI 150 DESIGN is a five-door family hatchback from the UK’s mainstream used-car market. It offers more cabin and boot practicality than a small city car, while remaining easier to park and live with than a larger family saloon or SUV. With 150bhp, its diesel engine gives brisk, confident pace for motorway journeys and overtaking, making this Astra well suited to commuters and families covering longer distances. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 468 look-ups across 256 distinct VINs, a useful sample. Checks show average recorded mileage of 120,000 and about 6,000 miles driven annually. The Design trim adds a well-equipped feel, while the 1.9 CDTI’s strong pull and diesel economy make it an alternative to popular Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf hatchbacks. Mycarcheck data puts average private-sale value at £1,100; vehicles checked had about 5.7 previous keepers, so inspect history and condition carefully before buying.
