Checked examples averaged £1,100 in private-sale value and 122,000 miles, with annual mileage averaging 6,000.

Its economical 1.4-litre diesel engine makes it appealing for commuting and longer trips, while the three-door layout best suits singles, couples or first-time drivers rather than families needing easy rear-seat access.
