The average private-sale valuation is £2,700, with average recorded mileage of 83,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000. Checked cars had nearly four previous keepers on average; individual history, maintenance and condition matter more than these figures.
It suits commuters, couples and small households wanting an easy daily car with rear doors. Against a Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus, it feels more premium and engaging, though cabin space is less generous. A used BMW 116i automatic stands out, but check service history and running costs.
