Great Used Estate Cars Under £5k - Cheap Estate Car Bargains UK

So what is the best second-hand family car available? used estate cars make practical family cars often at a fraction of the cost of a similar SUV. Used estate cars (sometimes known as station wagons) are massively practical with a ton of boot space to absolutely swallow all your family needs.

As well as some good cheap second-hand cars there are also one or two classics here which could soon start to appreciate in value, meaning your second-hand bargain car could end up making you a few quid in years to come. All of these used cars are under £5000 with less than 100k miles on the clock and they are all ULEZ compliant too.

So which of these used estate cars grabs your attention? which one needs to be put in the bin? let me know in the comments.

There's one thing to bear in mind when looking at a diesel vauxhall from insignia age or newer. Some of the engines have sensored glow plugs and if they go they're circa £200 EACH for the part, plus fitting if it goes to the garage plus VAT.

I've got a Vauxhall insignia 2.0CDti Auto SRi estate. Bought it with 40k miles on it in 2013, it's done over 140k now and it's still a great car. Does around 57-60mpg on the motorway, about 40mpg on shorter journeys. I'd say watch out for the oil pump seal as that's a common issue although not a big job to change it. Other than that I can't fault the car. You can buy them for under £2000 for a 2010 model. Some may disagree but for what you can pick them up for these days I think they are a really good car. Even a 2015 model is under £5000.

Always check out the MOT history they can tell you a lot!

brilliant vid. like these sort of vids. very informative. i like the Skoda's very much. good cars.

That W124 Merc looks amazing, proper old school build quality….👍.
Mazda a good buy if the oil pickup has been addressed, should have been as it was a recall I think…

[mudskipper]

Had an E91 BMW 318i like the one at the start, dog slow but had the coldest A/C ever and the hottest heated seats….👍

[ab-theboss]

Great video! That old merc estate has GOT to be a future classic!

The BMW right at the beginning was probably the pick of the bunch for me but the Mundano at the end was quite interesting too. Were the wheels & tyres on it standard I wonder? It looked like they didn't really fill out the wheel that was the style back in the day.

Old video I know but that mondeo st is still for sale and at an inflated price, the dealer says no offers!

[andruel]

I've had three 300TE's over the years, great cars, be sure to service and beware head gasket as they approach 100k :)

I’m thinking about getting an cheap cheap estate car for under 3k for taking dog out at weekends few times a month so won’t be driven much at all (got a Leon for other driving) if I want something that I don’t give a shit how it drives or looks but don’t want it to cost me lots in repairs would it be best to look at Hyundai & Toyotas ?

[glengosling]

I love your video . Need best to buy suv 2010 to 2019

6.10 😂🤣😆… nice try Jim… Mr Damon’s twin? 😉. 7.40 is a better likeness… except the yellow makes you look like one of the Simpsons 😁
Another helpful video… I often see a car I’d like to go for in your vids… would have been the Skodas in this one.
I liked the look of the 3 litre Ford, and agree that it would be an investment, assuming it didn’t get written off like my last Ford did 😩.

Very nice Sharing my dear full support and Big Likes from Ahmed Ali Nizamani, ..

You'd have to go a long way to better a well serviced Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0Tdi, if you can find a nice one for You do have to watch out for odd ones with Starship Enterprise mileage The CVT gearboxes in Audis are usually avoided by many Jim, as they don't have the best reputation. Audi only used a CVT for a short while, because they were not well received by The Volvo V50 looks a good bet for £5k, although this one has the slightly thirsty 2.4 engine. Nice car though. Just put your National Trust sticker in the back window, get some driving gloves, and you've got it Avensis is another good 'un. Boringly reliable. Looks great on your drive if you live in a bungalow with hanging baskets outside... The Dacia is a cheapie, and might do someone who just wants to transport a dog around. Beware these things aren't galvanised during manufacture, and will (and do) rust even out-do Ford for their Flit Gun paint job..

[mitchellrobertson]

Totally agree about that Insignia mate seemed abit fishy.

[TimesWithJR]

Brilliant video just subscribed I’m going to be looking for a car for my job going to boot sales driving from Lancashire to Yorkshire a lot in the week. I’m looking for something with good boot space and comfortable drive I’m thinking a focus… £3k/£4K budget… keep the videos coming and thanks again for the help

I'm wanting to get an estate to take my dog places and every day use.

I'm thinking of Skoda but love the Volvo estates.

Does anyone have any others they'd recommend? Especially for ferrying a dog in the back.

Good value to run would be one of the main things I'm wanting.

The first BMW estate looked very, I must look into them to see if they're worth getting.
