In the UK used-car market, it offers an older, more affordable alternative to newer family crossovers, with a diesel engine suited to regular journeys. mycarcheck.com records 251 look-ups covering 165 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars checked. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,200 and average latest recorded mileage of 136,000 miles.
