The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.6I 115 EU6 ELITE AUTO6 is a five-door petrol estate, offering more load space than the Astra hatchback while remaining a manageable family car. In the UK used market it sits among mainstream compact estates, competing with Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estate. Mycarcheck.com records 110 checks covering 65 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a complete picture of every car. Its average private-sale valuation is £5,500, with 64,000 miles recorded on average, about 7,000 miles a year, and roughly 2.6 previous keepers. These figures can help set expectations when viewing one. The automatic gearbox and 1.6-litre petrol engine should appeal to drivers wanting straightforward, relaxed motoring, while the estate body suits family trips, shopping and hobbies. Elite trim adds an upmarket feel; against rivals, the Astra is known as a sensible, spacious all-rounder, though check condition and running costs before buying.
