Its upright shape and small footprint make it easy to park and practical around town, while rear doors add everyday access for passengers. Mycarcheck.com records 13 checks across 12 different VINs, so its figures offer a snapshot rather than a market survey. The average private-sale valuation is £900; checked cars averaged 124,000 miles, about 4,000 miles a year, and over five previous keepers. These are guide figures, not a price or condition guarantee.
