Description
The car was owned until 17000 miles by a rental company. I bought in December 2023 for business and pleasure. About 32600 miles as of March 2026. It has always been fully taxed, insured, serviced and MOTd every year. I replaced one tyre about a year ago when tread was low, the brake discs on the last service, and the cabin air filter 1-2 years ago. I am based in Bracknell (near Reading).
Some advantages of this car:
1. It is relatively fuel efficient, being a 1.0 litre engine.
1A. It was ULEZ compliant when I last drove it in London in January 2026. ULEZ compliance is subject to change, depending on the government.
2. It is small and therefore easier to park than a 4x4.
3. The mirrors fold manually, helping to park in tighter spaces.
The car has served me well but do note the following downsides:
1. In winter overnight, the windscreen can freeze on the inside. I received the car in this condition and remedy this by running the fans a little longer and catching any drips with a rag.
2. About a year ago the multimedia connection stopped working. It frequently disconnects. A cradle could be used for a smartphone. The Bluetooth still works and can take calls hands-free and play music.
3. The wipers have always been squeaky. I manage this by letting the windscreen get wetter before wiping. Sometimes they leave a small streak but I have not found this affects my use. I did replace the wipers once but it did not make a difference.
Although not defects, some other things to note about driving this vehicle:
1. It is a 1.0 litre so will take some getting used to if you drove a more powerful car.
2. It is a high clutch.
3. To get into reverse the clutch must be completely depressed and the gear stick moved in a particular way.
Note exact and final purchase mileage is subject to change, as I may drive the car after posting the advertisement. This advertisement may be revised from time to time. This version was last updated on 15 March 2026. You should check it again on purchase day. I am seeking a direct sale that is not mediated by any third party. The payment method will be bank transfer. Please bring your driving licence on purchase day. Purchase must be in person.
I am open to negotiation.
