Three year old car with 50,000 miles - buy or avoid?
I'm looking for a small family car for around £7000, I've seen a two cars I like (Kia Cee’d and Toyota Auris) with around 50,000 miles in three years. Would you recommend buying something with this many miles in or steer well clear of them?

Nothing wrong with a car being used. But a 2 year old 11 reg cee'd 1.6 with 29k miles book retails at £7,000, so don't be so pessimistic.

Facelifted Cee'd with a sharper look. Improvements in economy and reductions in CO2. Seven year warranty as standard. All engines chain cam.

Decent combination of ride and handling that might suit some people better than a harder sprung Golf or a Civic. A few inches taller than a Golf of Focus so easier to get in and out.
