Its three-door shape and automatic gearbox give it an appealing, distinctive alternative to more practical five-door superminis and compact hatchbacks. mycarcheck.com recorded 157 checks covering 114 different VINs, a useful sample for this recent model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £20,300 and average recorded mileage of 16,000 miles; annual mileage averages 4,000.
