What is miles per pound?

Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 19 - 26 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

Very durable, but parts and servicing are expensive and necessary to maintain. Diesels get 25mpg, whilst V6s can dip into the teens if you’re heavy footed. Insurance is quite high too. Luckily it won’t lose you much money in terms of depreciation.

Capable of very high mileages if cared for properly and is below-average for breakdowns. However a hard life without proper care will see it become a catalogue of expenses – and its the sort of car some owners think they need not look after.
