The MITSUBISHI CARISMA (2000-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 16V CLASSIC is a practical five-door family hatchback, sitting between small city cars and larger estate cars in the used-car market. Its straightforward petrol engine and roomy layout make it suited to everyday journeys, commuting and family errands, with rear doors helping passengers get in and out easily. mycarcheck.com has recorded just four look-ups, covering four different cars, so these figures offer a small snapshot rather than a model-wide picture. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £200, average recorded mileage of 68,000 miles, annual mileage of 15,000 and two previous keepers. Treat the valuation and mileage as historical observations, not a guarantee of today’s price or condition. Against Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra rivals, the Carisma is a less common, understated choice for buyers wanting practical space over fashion. Check condition and history carefully: at this age, regular upkeep matters most.
