I would look at cars made by French companies their diesels are excellent plus you get great value for money when buying these second hand. Their samll cars are also made with womens needs in mind. Another alternative is Seat Ibiza as these are cheaper than VW but have the same qualities. Most of the other cars Fords and Vauxhall will generally have very high mileage.

completely commonplace for every day working. the government figures so enjoyed by vehicle producers are only hype to get you to purchase that distinctive sort. those figures are very infrequently performed contained in the real worldwide - if in any respect. I run a Peugeot 406 2 litre petrol, power approximately 4 hundred miles each and every week - over ninety% at twin carriageway speeds - & return 39.5 mpg & am nicely happy with that. If I had the Diesel I reckon i might desire to upward push as much as fifty 8 mpg !

For 5k you should be able to pick and choose, any diesel at 30000miles should be ok - one sure way is to pay for an MOT at an independant garage to see if it passes the smoke test. the £40 will also confirm that the motor is fit for the road.

Sounds reasonable, depending on the age, model and state of the car.
But are you asking people to consider buying it, or are you asking advice for yourself on buying it?
If you're after one of that range, I'd agree with Mr. Bondage and suggest a Corsa - they're good little runners and that would be a reasonable price to pay for one of that mileage. Try also looking at the Ford range - Ka, Fiesta etc.
Type in 'Crash Test Results' on the model you're considering into Google and it'll come up with the safety standards for it - very useful.

Skoda Fabia
Essentially it is the same car as the VW Polo and Seat Ibiza, but it looks better than the Polo (if not as good as the Ibiza), is better built than either, and tends to be cheaper.

VW LUPO 1.4tdi. It'll do 70mpg and give you plenty of change from 5 K.
