Its three-door layout gives it a tidy, youthful look, while the 1.4-litre engine makes it better suited to mixed town and open-road driving than the very smallest city cars. mycarcheck.com records show 368 checks covering 188 different VINs, a useful sample of cars shoppers have researched. The average recorded mileage is 86,000, with about 4,000 miles added yearly; cars had averaged 4.3 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £600, though condition and history matter.
