Small update...
I just bought a car tonight...
1.3 Petrol Fiesta, 88k, £1600.
I've been to see 8 cars in the last week and they were all crap, but this one looked fine and had lots of receipts. It has an oil leak, but it is getting fixed by the dealer first.
Overall im fairly happy, and its a great first car for my fiance, who im teaching to drive...
