The VAUXHALL ASTRA GTC (2011-18) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 CDTI DPF SS 165 EU5 SPORT 6SPD is a sporty, three-door hatchback: a more distinctive, driver-focused take on the familiar Astra, rather than a practical five-door family car. In the UK market it sits among affordable used diesel hatchbacks, offering coupé-like styling with everyday usability. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 936 checks covering 381 different VINs, a substantial sample that gives buyers useful market context. The average recorded mileage is 90,000, with around 8,000 miles driven annually, while the average is just over three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £3,900, although condition, history and location affect any individual car’s price. The 165 diesel suits motorway commuters, and its six-speed manual adds an involving drive. It appeals to couples or households seeking style and pace, but frequent short trips are less suitable. Compare the Scirocco or Mégane Coupé, and check service history.
