About the 2014 POLARIS UNCLASSIFIED

With an average of 5,024 miles at 10 years old, POLARIS UNCLASSIFIED owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2014 POLARIS UNCLASSIFIED Fuel Costs
The modest 567cc petrol engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 50 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £955 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2014 POLARIS UNCLASSIFIED?

Buying a Used 2014 POLARIS UNCLASSIFIED
At 10 years old, the POLARIS UNCLASSIFIED is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. Note: with only 37 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
