The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX 105G DPF SS 130 EU5 EXCLUSIV 6SPD is a practical five-door estate, rather than a conventional hatchback. It sits in the UK’s popular family-car class, with useful load space but less bulk than an SUV, while its diesel engine suits regular longer journeys. mycarcheck.com has recorded 146 checks covering 98 different VINs, a useful pool of real-world interest. Across those records, average private-sale value is £3,200; average latest recorded mileage is 133,000, with about 10,000 miles driven annually and roughly two previous keepers. These figures are context, not a valuation or guarantee for an individual car. The roomy boot makes the Astra Sports Tourer well suited to family life, commuting and carrying hobbies or work gear. Exclusiv trim adds everyday comfort, while the six-speed manual and Ecoflex set-up prioritise economical, relaxed travel. Against Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estates, it is a familiar, practical-value alternative; check service history and condition carefully, particularly at higher mileage.
