Its automatic gearbox helps make everyday driving straightforward, and the hatchback format suits shopping, commuting and carrying passengers, offering more versatility than a small city car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 13 look-ups across 12 distinct VINs, a modest sample rather than a full picture of cars. Within those checks, average private-sale valuation was £400, average mileage 73,000, and annual mileage 5,000.
