The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.6 16V 115 EU5 ELITE AUTO6 is a five-door estate, rather than a hatchback, offering extra room for luggage while retaining family-car dimensions. In the UK used-car market, it sits among compact estates, appealing to buyers who want carrying space without stepping up to a SUV. Mycarcheck.com records 158 look-ups covering 81 different cars, showing a good spread of interest. Checks show an average private-sale value of £5,100 and average recorded mileage of 62,000 miles; annual mileage averages 6,000, with about two or three previous keepers. The petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit commuting, school runs and family trips, especially for drivers who value easy progress over sporty performance. The Elite trim adds an upmarket feel, while the estate body gives it an edge over Astra hatchbacks and rivals such as the Ford Focus estate. It is a versatile choice for buyers seeking a practical used car.
