The SUZUKI ALTO (1997-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.0 GL AUTO is a compact five-door city car designed for affordable, uncomplicated motoring. In the UK used-car market, it belongs to the budget end of the small-hatchback class, offering easier parking and town manoeuvrability than a larger family car. Its automatic transmission can make busy urban trips more relaxed. mycarcheck.com data is limited, with three look-ups covering two distinct VINs, so the figures are indicative rather than a broad market picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £200, average recorded mileage of 56,000 miles, and about 1,000 miles driven annually. The average keeper count is around 1.3. Against rivals such as the Daewoo Matiz and Fiat Seicento, the Alto stands out for simplicity and five-door practicality. It suits city commuters, solo drivers and first-time buyers wanting an inexpensive runabout, though condition matters on any older car—not a spacious family car.
