Compact enough for town driving, it suits buyers wanting everyday practicality with BMW styling and an automatic gearbox. mycarcheck.com recorded 48 checks covering 22 distinct cars, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. The average private-sale value was £8,700, with 53,000 miles recorded and around 6,000 miles driven annually. Checks showed about two previous keepers on average, so reviewing each car’s history remains important.
