My brother just got a new Audi A6 Black Edition 40 TDI for 365 pm (can’t remember exactly but between 360&370) 3+23 10k per annum
Sure you’re effectively throwing money away which is what my dad had told my brother but as soon as my dad drove it and saw it in the flesh, he changed his mind. It’s a stunning machine.
Unless you buy smart and get something Japanese or something simple under 7 years old, there’s no point as anything interesting will end up costing you more in the long run, repairs, maintenance etc
Edit - he averages 45 mpg mixed driving with the aircon all the time (been a hot month) and it hasn’t hit 1k miles yet, will return better MPG after its properly run in.
Where did he find this deal please?Sure you’re effectively throwing money away which is what my dad had told my brother but as soon as my dad drove it and saw it in the flesh, he changed his mind. It’s a stunning machine.

So given all that any thoughts on what second hand car around £12k I should be looking at?
With your requirements and budget I'd recommend taking a look at a Mazda 6, you'll get good spec, low mileage and they're not a bad place to be for a long drive. But they can be a bit marmite
