What is my Cat D Toyota Yaris Verso worth?
I have a Yaris Verso GS 2001 model in beige. When I bought it in February this year it had only done 9980 miles. It was a Category D but was repaired, and I checked the MOT history to verify the mileage and also did a HPI check. The only issue is that I did not get the service history. The car is is a 1.3 VVT-I automatic. I have a few questions:
1. I paid £2850. Do you think it is worth that now? (current mileage 13,500). The car is in very good condition.
2. The car only averages 220 miles to the full tank. I have been told that this engine can do about 400 miles to the tank on a combined cycle. Am I ill-advised, or what can be the reason for such low mileage on a car which has such a small engine?

1. No. Not for an former Cat D. I don't value low mileage.
2. This engine and transmission should do 40mpg+ because I have with it in a Verso, and our 1.5 with the same four-speed automatic transmission in Thailand can do 45mpg+. Of course, it all depends on how you use it. Short runs burn massive amounts of fuel.

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.
