Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI Zetec probably the sensible pick of the bunch. Some slightly higher mileage Peugeot 508s under 5k if you need more space, 2.0 pulls nicely and they tend to be high spec. I did about 2,000 miles in one in Spain a number of years back and couldn't fault it, great for just wafting along, massive boot and huge fuel tank, very frugal.

I bought a Volvo V70 with about 140k miles on the clock about a year ago for £2200, it's been great for what I need. It averages about 35mpg, mostly stop start commuter miles. Definitely not the most exciting car in the world but it's comfortable, reliable and practical. £4-5k would get you one with less miles I'm sure.

If you had 4-5k for an estate what would you be looking at?
Want some good mpg and low tax ideally. That money seems to just about get you a more modern 1.6 diesel, are they totally awful?
