In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical superminis, appealing to drivers wanting straightforward transport rather than a large family car. mycarcheck.com checks logged 176 look-ups covering 103 distinct VINs, a helpful sample of this older model. The average private-sale valuation was £700, with average recorded mileage of 81,000 miles. Typical annual mileage was just 4,000, and checked cars had about four to five previous keepers, suggesting modest use but varied ownership. Easy to park, it suits urban commuters seeking an automatic. Its three-door layout is less convenient for family duties, though it feels more substantial than city cars.
