In the UK used-car market, it sits among practical, affordable small estates rather than larger SUVs or executive cars. The 1.6 LX AC trim offers a straightforward, everyday choice, with air conditioning adding welcome comfort. mycarcheck.com records 36 look-ups across 30 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot rather than a full market census. Across those checks, average recorded mileage was 126,000, annual mileage 4,000, and the average number of previous keepers was 4.25. The average private-sale valuation was £200, reflecting the age of cars checked; condition, history and roadworthiness matter greatly at this price.
