I have a 2008 1.6 Diesel Kia Ceed with the 115HP engine.
I do around 20K miles a year and have owned it for about 3 years. Currently on 80K.
It is not a bad car. Comfortable and drives quite well. Around 50mpg mixed driving.
It has had a few minor repairs under warranty. Suspension parts and a wheel bearing. Kia seem pretty good at honouring the warranty.
For £5K you would be looking at a 2008 with 50-60K miles on it. That would leave you with 40-50K miles or 2 years of warranty.
Servicing on this model is every 12.5K miles. I believe the newer 2010 on is 20K miles.
You would get newer/lower miles with a petrol version but I have read that they are not as good to drive as the diesel. May not be suited to your high mileage.
