The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX 105G DPF SS 130 EU5 SRI 6SPD is a five-door estate, offering more load space than the Astra hatchback while remaining a mainstream, family-friendly alternative to larger SUVs. In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical compact estates, competing with models such as the Ford Focus Estate and Volkswagen Golf Estate. Its 1.7-litre diesel and economy-focused Ecoflex setup make it well suited to regular commuting, longer journeys and family trips, with the estate body useful for luggage, shopping or hobbies. The SRI trim gives it a sportier look and equipment appeal, while a six-speed manual suits motorway travel. It is best for drivers needing versatility without moving to a larger car. mycarcheck.com recorded 78 checks across 53 different VINs, with an average recorded mileage of 111,000 and 2.3 previous keepers; average private-sale value was £3,700, and annual mileage 12,000.
