I've posted under discussion about this, but wonder whether technical minds might have a more informed answer.
I'm about to trade in a troublesome Mondeo TDCi 130 which isn't wearing its age well, and have looked at an 05 Volvo V50 1.8S with under 50k miles, and an 03 Honda Accord 2.2 CTDi with nearly 90k miles, both under £6k.
I'd be interested to hear opinions on both. Like the look of the V50, though worried it might be a tad small, also like Hondas having had a succession of reliable Civics as second cars, but have heard one or two suggestions the Accord may not be as trouble-free. What's the received wisdom on these two?
Only other option is an older, high-mileage Volvo V70, though at under £6k there don't seem to be many D5s which haven't been half way to the moon. I've never had an older, high-miler and wonder whether I'd be buying nothing but regular bills???
