1K Car recommendations

think i might be able to up my budget to 2k which should hopefully help getting something a little more reliable.

is there any manufactures that you would specifically avoid? ie. i see a lot of 207's, fiesta;s, 107's, aygo's etc.
 
Something simple, common and not overly expensive when new should make for a car that's reliable and cheap/easy to fix. Id try to stay away from forced induction motors too.
 
Whatever you can find that has 12month MOT and actually drives really, My father was fortunate to pick up a C-Max Focus 2l diesel for much less than a grand and its actually been a solid car.

if you had 1k to buy a car that needed to do around 40 miles a day as a mixture of a roads and motorway what would you choose.

dont need fast, dont need pretty just need cheap to run, insure and something thats likely to be reliable.

I might get a corsa as they seem cheap but ppl rave about em and im learning to drive in one tho the instructors one is 2015 i think and best id probs get is 2008 or less for under a grand. I hear polo ones are suppose to be good and theres micras or ka's tho them two types seem a bit small and few other types that come up on autotrader when u search fow low millage cars under 1000. You might also be able to get a fiesta.

A Honda Jazz is superior to a Corsa
 
That's quite an increase!
Seems there's a lot of them around that price so don't get too bogged down in getting that one specifically if anything seems amiss!

I just didn't want to be walking into a potential shed situation with something so cheap.
What kinda amiss things would it be that I'd need to look for?

It seems a good price in comparison to others in that age range. They seem to be 3.5-4k for 2010 plates.

This pug also caught my eye.

don't know much about Diesels
40 miles a day, sounds like Diesel territory ?

you can get a 2L Focus Titanium (face lift) in your budget
