Those vehicles averaged 95,000 miles and 8,000 miles a year, with just over four previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £3,300. These are observed figures, not a guarantee of a particular car’s history or price. The 1.2-litre petrol engine suits everyday journeys while the six-speed manual gives control.
