The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR ESTATE 1.8I 16V SRI EXT PACK AUTO is a compact family estate: a five-door alternative to a hatchback, with extra room for luggage and everyday jobs. In the UK used-car market it sits among affordable estates, competing with Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estates. Mycarcheck.com recorded 71 look-ups covering 14 distinct VINs, so the figures offer a snapshot rather than a large survey. The average private-sale valuation was £900, with average recorded mileage of 101,000 miles and about 4,000 miles driven annually. Checks showed an average of 4.3 previous keepers. The 1.8-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox make this Astra suited to drivers who prefer easy motoring; its estate body also works well for families, commuters and weekend trips. SRi trim adds a sportier look, while the long-roof layout prioritises carrying space. Expect a budget-priced car, so check condition and service history carefully.
