If you want reliability, comfort and motorway capability we would suggest looking at cars such as the Skoda Octavia and Superb, Toyota Avensis and Mazda 6. You should find plenty of examples within your budget.

Will you have to pay the low emissions charge?

Use our ULEZ checker to find out if your vehicle is subject to ULEZ charges. Simply enter your number plate into the Honest John ULEZ checker to see if you will have to pay to enter the London Ultra Low Emission Zone.
