The VAUXHALL ASTRA (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.7 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF 110 EU5 TECH LINE 6SPD is a five-door family hatchback in the UK’s popular mid-size class, competing with the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf. It gives everyday practicality and useful passenger space without the bulk of an SUV. Its 1.7-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit regular commuting and longer journeys, with Ecoflex tuning aimed at keeping fuel use sensible. The Tech Line trim makes this Astra a well-equipped, comfortable choice for families, couples or drivers wanting a capable everyday car; as with any older diesel, check service history and filter condition before buying. mycarcheck.com has recorded only four look-ups across two distinct VINs, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide verdict. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,300, 147,000 miles, 4,000 miles a year and three previous keepers, useful context when assessing a particular car.
