It sat in the mainstream small-car market, giving buyers practical everyday transport with a traditional four-door layout and Ghia trim’s comfort-focused appeal. mycarcheck.com records 138 look-ups across 94 different VINs, giving a snapshot of interest in this older model. Checked cars averaged 94,000 miles, around 4,000 miles a year, and just over three previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £400. These figures describe checked examples, not a guaranteed price or condition.
