The MITSUBISHI CARISMA (2000-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 GDI ELEGANCE AUTO4 is a family-sized hatchback from Mitsubishi’s compact-car range. It sits between small city cars and larger saloons, offering five-door convenience and an automatic gearbox for easier everyday driving. Today, it is an older, budget-priced choice in the UK used-car market. mycarcheck.com has recorded four look-ups across three distinct VINs, so figures are a small snapshot rather than a market-wide verdict. The cars checked averaged 119,000 miles and 8,000 miles a year, with 1.5 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £300. Treat that value as a guide, as condition and history matter. The 1.8-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission make this Carisma a relaxed option for commuters or smaller families wanting a hatchback, rather than sporty performance. Against rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, it is a less common alternative, valued for comfort and simple everyday use.
