The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.7 CDTI DPF 110 EU5 SRI 6SPD is a five-door compact estate: a practical alternative to a family hatchback, with extra room for luggage. In the UK used-car market, it sits among mainstream, value-conscious rivals such as the Ford Focus Estate and Volkswagen Golf Estate. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 20 checks covering 15 different VINs, so the figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a large-scale verdict. Across those records, average mileage was 97,000, annual mileage 7,000, and the average number of previous keepers was about two. The average private-sale valuation was £4,000. Suited to commuters and small families, it offers comfort, a useful boot and room for weekend trips. The diesel engine and six-speed manual suit longer journeys; SRi trim adds style. Check service history and condition, and consider whether an older diesel fits your driving pattern. This Astra estate is an all-rounder.
