Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, average recorded mileage of 125,000 miles and annual use of about 7,000 miles. The cars averaged five previous keepers, a detail worth weighing alongside condition and service history. The 2.0 HDi diesel is suited to commuting, and Rapier AC trim adds comfort.
