The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR ESTATE 1.9 CDTI 120 SXI is a compact family estate, offering the familiar Astra cabin with a longer roof and useful boot. In the UK used-car market, it sits between a small hatchback and larger load-lugging estates, making it a practical, affordable alternative to rivals such as the Ford Focus Estate and Volkswagen Golf Estate. Mycarcheck.com has recorded nine checks across seven different VINs, so the figures offer a small-sample guide rather than a complete market picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,300, average recorded mileage of 103,000 miles and annual use of around 6,000 miles. Vehicles had about 2.6 previous keepers on average. It suits families, commuters and anyone wanting extra space without a large car. The diesel favours longer journeys, and SXi trim adds a sportier appearance. As with any older used Astra, check service history and condition before buying.
