There's a new service the gov't launched last year allowing you to check the MOT history on cars. Do this before you even pick the phone up, it can identify potential problems and show up cars with a "less than glorious" past. https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history
As for cars, me being me would suggest to get something Japanese. I've done 60,000 miles in the Celica in 3 years and it's not needed anything doing bar usual servicing and a set of front discs.
I had a diesel Almera and had no problems with that, although it might be a bit over your price range. The 2000+ 1.5 petrol models have issues with timing chain stretch so the 1.8 is the way to go on those.
Do looks matter to you is the main question I guess![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
