2018 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 CDTi 16V 136 SRi 5-door hatchback diesel manual

Description

Got this 2018 Vauxhall Astra CDTi SRi from Rotherham, South Yorkshire — it’s been my daily driver for years and I’m finally parting ways. The 1.6-litre diesel engine runs smooth and the fuel economy’s actually better than I expected for a diesel, which is a real plus.

The R4.0 IntelliLink screen is still working great — I’ve got both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto set up, so no more fiddling with my phone while driving. It’s a bit of a luxury for a car this size, honestly.

Inside, it’s got proper AC and auto-lighting that kicks in when you go into tunnels — that little bit of automation saves me from having to fumble with switches. The seats are solid, and the boot’s roomy enough for a couple of shopping bags or a weekend trip.

I’ve kept the insurance low because of the group rating, which means cheaper bills year after year. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable. Got air conditioning, safety belt pretensioners, and it hits 60 in just 8.8 seconds — not a sports car, but it’s definitely got enough punch for city driving and short trips.

I’m selling it because I’ve just upgraded to a different kind of vehicle, and it’s time to move on. Still runs great, no major issues — just a solid, dependable car with good tech and a decent mix of features.

Price is £4,491 — it’s a bit on the higher side for a used hatchback, but it’s been well-maintained and I’ve kept it in good shape.

If you're in the area and looking for something practical and tech-savvy without breaking the bank, this one’s worth a look.
