At this price condition matters more than make and model: only buy a diesel if your annual mileage will be high, as older diesels can be expensive to repair when they go wrong.

If you want na suggestion on make, think about a Ford Focus hatchback or estate. There are lots of them around to choose from, and try to find one that has a service history.

HJ loves the Honda Jazz. Safest at that price are small Asian ones with petrol engines, so I keep reading.
