The HYUNDAI MATRIX (2008-10) 5DR MPV 1.6 102 CLASSIC is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a taller, more practical alternative to a family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable small MPVs, prioritising easy access and cabin space over sporty looks or premium finish. Mycarcheck.com has recorded two checks for this model, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £1,300, mileage of 70,000 miles and 2.5 previous keepers; average annual mileage is 8,000. Check each car’s history and condition before buying. The 1.6-litre petrol engine makes the Matrix a straightforward choice for school runs, shopping and commuting, while its roomy, upright cabin suits small families and drivers who value visibility and easy entry. Against rivals such as the Vauxhall Meriva, it stands out as a simple, practical budget MPV, though age and upkeep matter.
