The TOYOTA PICNIC (1997-01) 5DR MPV 2.0 SE AUTO 6ST is a six-seat people carrier, not a hatchback or SUV. Its cabin and flexible seating were aimed at family travel, with a smaller footprint than a van-based MPV. Today, it sits at the affordable end of the UK used-car market. mycarcheck.com recorded eight look-ups across five VINs, a small sample rather than a survey. The average private-sale valuation was £500; average mileage was 123,000 miles, with annual mileage of 3,000. Vehicles had an average of 2.9 previous keepers. Treat these figures as a guide, and check the car’s condition and history. The 2.0-litre engine and automatic gearbox suit drivers seeking relaxed family motoring every day. Its six seats help with children or occasional passengers, though it is less modern than SUVs. Compared with the Renault Scenic and Vauxhall Zafira, the Picnic is a straightforward, spacious alternative; inspect wear carefully before buying.
