A common fault is the wiring harness where it passes through the door frame breaking , could check that .

If not fault with wiring , probably lock solenoids / actuators knackered . Case of pulling off door trims etc. and checking if power getting to locks.

i know that the rear doors wiring harnesss breaking was a problem on astra h and zafira b.as advised check the fuses first,it might be worth disconnecting the wiring harness to the doors,could be a dirty or loose connection and then check the wiring going to the cdl motors,if you have live and earth it is your cdl motors at fault.if you have no live or no earth then its a case of tracing the wiring back
