The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2004-11) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDTI 80 SXI is a practical, five-door family hatchback from a popular British-market range. It sits among everyday alternatives such as the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, offering useful cabin space and an approachable, familiar ownership proposition rather than luxury or SUV-style presence. Mycarcheck.com records 58 look-ups across 38 distinct VINs, giving a snapshot of cars being researched. The average private-sale valuation is £700, with average recorded mileage of 141,000 miles and annual mileage around 7,000. Cars in this sample had averaged just over five previous keepers, so check each car’s history carefully. The 1.7 CDTI diesel suits commuting, longer journeys and households needing a practical car; five doors help with passengers and shopping. SXi trim adds a sportier feel, while the engine is suited to economical everyday motoring, not rapid performance. As with Focus and Golf rivals, condition matters at this age.
