It depends on what he wants from his car if he just wants a swift sensible car then I'd be looking for these:

Kia Ceed 4

Or if he wants something a bit swifter & more PH with a decent amount of warranty then go for the GT Tech:

It'll depend on the size of the baby seat but above & below are good options:

The VFM option is the Vauxhall Astra, they're very well made with swift engine options:

Do any of those tick your boxes OP?

A used 5 year old Volvo V60 would be my shout. Cannot beat a Volvo for safety record and comfort in my view. They depreciate so quick from new that you can get a £36k car for £12k in 5 years....

Thx for the replies gents, still going through the options , not a lot tickles his fancy that’s within his budget...

Further suggestions welcome, preferably auto options, rather not be an estate but still have a big enough boots for pram etc..
