The cars checked had an average recorded mileage of 17,000 miles and average annual use of 4,000 miles, suggesting many have led relatively light-duty lives. The average number of previous keepers was 0.8, while the average private-sale valuation was £11,300; condition, trim and history will affect any individual car’s value. The UP! suits commuters, first-time drivers and second-car buyers. It is easy to park, economical to run and feels more grown-up than many city-car rivals, ideal for everyday local trips around town.
