6 month dog-mobile
Discussion
I need a temporary car that will cost as little as possible over 6 months.
I'd like to stick to a £2k budget, but I can increase it there's something that will not need a penny spent on it and won't depreciate much over 6 months. I'm more worried about breakdown/servicing costs than fuel economy.
Needs to take two Labrador-sized dogs in the boot. Short journeys only so a hatchback would be OK as long as they physically fit without the hatch hitting their heads.
Bonus points for anything interesting.... Although I appreciate anything interesting is more likely to need money spent on it.
Best I can come up with currently is a 2013 Dacia Sandero for £3k. No thrills, but hopefully no costs either.
Ideas?

Surely the cheapest car possible with a long(ish) mot, something like this...
