The VAUXHALL ASTRA SPORTS TOURER (2019-22) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.2 TURBO 145 GPF SS EU6 GRIFFIN EDITION 6SPD is a practical compact estate: car-like to drive, with a longer load area than the Astra hatchback. In the UK market it offers a useful middle ground between a family hatchback and larger, costlier estates. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just three checks, covering three different cars, so its figures are a small snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. Those checks show an average recent mileage of 29,000 miles, average annual use of 13,000 miles and an average private-sale valuation of £11,900. The average previous-keeper figure is 0.33. The 145hp petrol engine and six-speed manual suit everyday commuting and family trips, while the estate body makes room for shopping, luggage or outdoor gear. Griffin Edition trim adds appealing equipment, and the Astra is a sensible, familiar alternative to Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estates.
