Its automatic gearbox is especially appealing for relaxed stop-start journeys. It is also easy to park. mycarcheck.com recorded 198 look-ups covering 71 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of interest rather than a measure of all cars on the road. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £9,200, average recorded mileage of 27,000 miles and annual mileage of 5,000; cars had averaged about 1.18 previous keepers overall.
