Price and mileage comparison

Estimated market asking price: £19,484. The asking price is £4,506 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 365 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.

The recorded MOT has expired; ask the dealer for an up-to-date MOT.
