Buying for high milage
I need to buy a new (or rather new to me) car in the next few months. I do about 20-30k a year and have a reasonably good car allowence. I have no interest in cars beyond they have to be legal, reliable and cost as little as possible to run. I don't look after my cars in terms of washing etc but have them properly serviced. I have a horse and need to carry lots of "stuff", usually dirty stuff and often drive in wellies. I'm not interested in speed, I drive for economy. What should I be looking to buy? Budget wise I want to keep under £10k.

Try to find a KIA cee'd 1.6CRDI with plenty of its 7 year 100k mile warranty left, or a Hyundai i30 1.6CRDI with balance of 5 year warranty. The engine is chain cam, and up to early 2010 they were EU4, not fitted with diesel particulate filters, saving you a potential £1,000 bill ad 70 - 90k miles.
