Price and mileage comparison

Estimated market asking price: £5,667. The asking price is £328 above this estimate.

The estimate uses UK dealer asking prices, accounting for make, model, trim, version, age, mileage, fuel, gearbox, body type, driven wheels, engine size and power. It estimates an advertised price, not a confirmed sale price.

The pricing calculation includes 2,801 adverts of this make and model across different ages and specifications.

Mileage concern: the advertised mileage is below the last MOT reading; ask the dealer to explain.

MOT

MOT valid until 28 May 2027. 97,306 miles at the last test.
