Asking for a neighbour (honest) but I'm after some ideas.

She's got a ford c max ecoboom and is sensibly getting shot of it.

Looking for a used car, ideally petrol, similar kind of thing to the c max but without and engine that's likely to brick itself. Mostly used for short ISH runs.

Budget about £10, pushing £12 maybe.

I don't even know where to start these days, she was looking at a Hyundai Tuscan 1.6 petrol and a Mazda cx5 2.2 diesel but both seem to have pretty poor reputation for quite serious engine issues.
 
Also not sure a diesel is a good idea if she’s doing short runs.

Yea definitely. I don't think they would get an electric car.

Small petrol, but one that won't blow up, seems to be a minefield out there.

I appreciate there will always be issues with even the most reliable cars, but that Mazda cx5 2.2 diesel for example seems to return a hell of a lot of really detrimental information even on a reasonably quick search.
