In the UK used-car market it offers generous passenger and boot space, making it a practical alternative to an estate or family saloon for buyers who want useful everyday versatility without an SUV. Mycarcheck.com records 923 look-ups across 560 distinct VINs, a useful sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, recorded mileage of 111,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000, with about four previous keepers.
