7 years old? Actually can't be much more than 6 because the first in the UK were 2008. Mine is still doing 51.1 mpg on Shell V-Power, but isn't a Dualogic. Using an automatic for short trips I don't think you'll do better than 40mpg unless you go for a Toyota Yaris hybrid that should do about 60mpg.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
