Looking for a cheapish, reliable car for my son to use to commute to uni.

He's narrowed down his preferences to either the XV or ASX, probably looking at an 11 or 12 plate with 80k - I didn't know anything about either so asking if there are any major issues or checks to look for?

He currently has a BMW 120d E88 which has needed a few expensive jobs recently and is approaching 150k so he's looking for something that hopefully won't be quite as expensive to run

Surely it would be cheaper all round to get a similar sized car to the 1 series than a 4x4? Not least in VED.
Loads of options in the small hatch market

Unfamiliar with the ASX but an XV would be similar size to a 1-series, just taller with more ground clearance (and traction, obviously).
