What car for £4200?

Hi,

I am looking to buy a diesel hatchback/saloon and my budget is around 4200. I will be doing around 10000 miles a year. I had a Polo 2005 before so looking for a small upgrade do not want a car with too high of an insurance group, somewhere around 6-7 will be good.

Looking for a reliable car with an acceptable resale value if I sell it after 2 yrs.
