What is the best second hand car for £30,000

Asked on 4 July 2022 by JIM HALL

Answered by Andrew Brady

It depends on your requirements, really. A three-year-old BMW 5 Series is hard to beat in terms of value for money but won't be a good option if you have a small driveway or cover a lot of city miles. A Toyota Yaris Cross would be a good choice if you're looking for a cheap-to-run small SUV. Or a Mazda MX-5 if you're in the market for a summer sports car.
