Buying an old, cheap car for commuting

I already have an 09 Range Rover Sport but I only do a 60 mile round trip to work every day so I'm looking for a very cheap car I can buy that would be very cheap to run back and forth to work.I could drive on dual carriageway but the quicker option is on the motorway. What's good?

That bloke who commutes every day from Essex to Wales does it in an old, pre DPF Renault Clio. Light on fuel. And the mileage doesn't harm the value of a car that's worth buttons anyway.
