But a 60k car won't be any less reliable than a 50k one but £1k cheaper?

I'm not a mechanic so not qualified to answer that, 50k has been my traditional limit so I'm sticking to that.

Wouldn't buy a toy car from that lol. It's ok for some but not me.
You’re right, full of grifters and bullshitters

Thanks to all for the help, after may weeks (months) of looking and being disapointed I've got something that is:
I found the car through Autotrader, and bought through an authorised dealer. I liked I was able to pay a £99 refundable deposit as I'd seen a few of these cars but they seemed to sell quite quickly. Its the Puretech (Tech) model so its got some toys in it I've never had before, and it has a full service history. I did decide (your opinion may differ!) to buy an extended warranty but as its my first car for about 2 years I'm out of touch with ownership and decided to safeguard myself a little.
It may be folly to talk about the ones that got away but I didn't find a Skoda Octavia Estate in the spec/price I wanted, a couple of other models like Ford Mondeo Estate were just too old and high mileage now. A rarer model I came accross and liked but nothing local came up - Renault Megane Sport Tourer.
Done a little over 150 miles in it so far, boot swallowed a lot of gear which looked promising for upcoming camping (even if todays weather does not!). So quite excited right now, and must resist the urge to stand in the window drooling.
