VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 130 EU5 SE 6SPD is a practical five-door estate in the UK’s mainstream compact estate market. It provides more boot space than the Astra hatchback without the bulk of a large SUV. Mycarcheck.com records 106 look-ups across 45 distinct VINs for this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,200, recorded mileage of 128,000, and annual use of 9,000 miles. Vehicles averaged just under three previous keepers. These figures describe checked examples, not a promise of condition or value, so review each car’s history and maintenance before buying. Its spacious load area and economical diesel character suit family duties, commuting and regular motorway trips; it is less suited to mainly short urban journeys. Against Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf estates, the Astra is a sensible-value, roomy all-rounder for families, best for buyers seeking useful space without premium-car costs.
