Checked cars averaged 128,000 miles, about 5,000 a year, and just over five previous keepers. Average private-sale valuation was £1,900.

The 1.5 dCi diesel suits commuting and family trips, with modest fuel use and a six-speed manual for motorway travel. Tekna trim and satellite navigation add comfort and convenience.
