Not sure that resale value in a specific market is going to make a big difference to your equation.
Could also look at a Fabia or one of the Toyota hybrids?

I have a 2010 (59) silver blue Yeti with about 84k miles. With a petrol 1.8 TSI and 4X4. It's just had new front struts and springs, front drop links, lower control arm bushes, new front discs and pads, new tyres. It has a boot cover and moulded polystyrene spacer, jack and steel spare as they are aren't fitted as standard. There is a but - the clutch makes a stupid noise if you remotely slip it when pulling away. A noise like the badly adjusted canti brakes on a 90s MTB, a sort of squawk. I have been quoted £1440 all in to replace the clutch which it doesn't need yet. Yours for £4750

Fabia Estate

something with some style or character
ah! I am out.

MINI Countryman?
My 61 plate Cooper S has been brilliant for the last five years or so, apart from a clutch a few years ago it’s been almost faultless.
Am about to put it up for sale as I attempt to consolidate to just one car. Won’t be quite £5k but would certainly let it go for 6.

We're looking for a car, went to see a Golf today but it was proper ropey so walked away.
Criteria are fairly compact but decent space inside if possible, at least 4 seats, hatchback style, petrol, ULEZ free, sub £5k, under 100k miles, good safety rating and something with some style or character
Shortlist so far is
Audi A1 or A3
VW golf or Polo
Mini Clubman
Citroen DS3
Will only ever be a weekend getaway, probably won't ever be driven into London but would like ULEZ compatible for resale in the south east.
Not a Jazz. Anything else we should consider?
I want a Yeti but they can't be had for the budget. VWs are the most boring but you know what you're getting
