My current car is a 2009 Passat. I paid £10.5k for it in Jan 2013, when it was just over 3 years old and had 20k miles. It was pretty much like new.
Boring but very adequate 140 bhp, 50+ mpg on a run.
I was intending to buy a 2011 Mondeo estate for the same money, also like new, but it had sold by the time I got there so I bought the Passat instead.
From Car Giant btw. Prices are slightly higher than what you can find in autotrader but you can look at a lot of decent cars in one place and by and large they don't have rubbish.
Either option worth considering IMO.

Skoda Yeti will allow you to keep your 4wd and SUV dreams alive.
What do you want the car for / what do you want it to do? Be nice but with 5 seats and some space?
Also very jealous of the mini. Always, always, wanted one. When we were kids a mate had one with a sub so big he'd have to turn the hi-fi off 5 mins before the end of the trip because it would drain the battery!

Hello car nerds. Still looking for a car. Have revised budget down to around £10k and have abandoned 4wd and SUV stuff and am now looking at estates. I like the Volvo V60 but can only afford high milers. The smaller/older V50s can be found in budget under 30,000 miles but they're a bit small and dated. Current front runner is any number of low mileage 2011 or later BMW 318 such as the below. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201612300898946?onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&maximum-mileage=50000&make=BMW&body-type=Estate&radius=100&year-from=2011&transmission=Manual&postcode=me138sd&advertising-location=at_cars&sort=price-asc&page=1
Any thoughts?
