The VAUXHALL TIGRA (2004-10) is a small, two-seat coupe-cabriolet: a compact car with a folding hard roof, rather than a conventional hatchback. It sits in the affordable end of the UK used-car market, offering open-air motoring in a size that is easy to park and manage around town with ease. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 5,166 look-ups covering 2,557 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of interest in this ageing model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £900 and average recorded mileage of 79,000 miles; typical annual mileage is about 5,000, suggesting many are used for shorter, occasional journeys and errands. With two seats, the Tigra suits singles or couples seeking a commuter or weekend car, rather than families. Its retractable roof gives appeal over hatchbacks, while rivals such as Peugeot 206 CC offer open-top fun. Checks show nearly five previous keepers on average, so first review each car’s history carefully.
