Buying my first UK car
I am looking to buy my first car in the UK (Northern Ireland), I would prefer to buy second hand and can spend around £5000. I work as a vet so will be driving long distances and need to carry a reasonable amount of equipment so fuel consumption and space are important.
It doesn't need to be 4 wheel drive but sensible ground clearance would be beneficial.
When I lived in South Africa I fell in love with the Opel bakkies (Corsa pick ups) but they do not seem to exist here, do you have any suggestions?

Try to find a Suzuki SX4 within your budget.
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.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
