Which used car should I buy?
I do a lot of motorway driving from Midlands to London at least twice a month, and back and fourth from Birmingham to Leicester.
Have seen two golfs, one is petrol 7,000 miles one owner, the other is diesel tdi 33,000 miles both are same year and price.
The diesel has a different make of tyre on every tyre - should that cause me concern?

Which engine in the petrol Golf.
If it's a 1.4TSI 122, go for that rather than the diesel.
That odd set of tyres would worry me. It might have done a lot more than the 33k on the clock.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

My daughter lives in Croydon and is looking to purchase a used car Focus/Golf type, petrol and budget £7000 max. I live in Derby and wonder if it would be advantageous to source one from this area.

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
