He will be driving 3 miles to work and 3 miles home again 5 days a week for 1 year from July.
So 2340 miles for the year with a few extra every now and again. He wants the cheapest motoring possible. 19 with 0 ncb so low insurance is a must. He's open to ideas on the car, no preference as long as its cheap to run, gonna have a year MOT and not an estate/4x4.
No set budget but he's looking at cars between about £500 and £1500 if that gives you an idea, no £2k cars or stretch for this or that it really does need to be bargin basement motoring.
MPG isn't important due to the low mileage but no 3litre V6's as this will be horrific for insurance.
I've thought of Mondeo, Fiesta and some sort of old Honda or Toyota but don't really know enough about running older cheaper cars on budgets.
It need not have any resale value at the end of the year as his placement will be up and he'll look at getting something different and just scrap the car or sell it for whatever its worth.
