The HYUNDAI MATRIX (2001-08) 5DR MPV 1.6 102 SE AUTO4 is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a taller, roomier alternative to an ordinary family hatchback. Its 1.6-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox make it appealing to drivers who prefer simple, relaxed motoring. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable small MPVs rather than SUVs or premium family cars. The mycarcheck.com picture is based on 15 look-ups covering nine different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a large sample. These cars averaged 73,000 miles and around 6,000 miles a year, with just over four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation recorded was £300, so condition, history and local asking prices matter greatly when assessing an individual Matrix. Its upright cabin suits families, commuters and older drivers needing easy access and everyday space. Compared with rivals like the Renault Scénic, it is a budget choice, but inspect condition carefully.
