In the UK used market, it appeals to drivers wanting practical transport with extra pace and personality. mycarcheck.com has recorded 2,360 checks across 1,039 distinct VINs, a substantial sample for this model. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 134,000 miles and around 8,000 miles driven annually; the average car had just over eight previous keepers.
