My first thought was Toyota diesel.

Surely can't get much cheaper for 70 mile a day commute.
You could look at the Auris or Avensis if it needs to be bigger.
ZX Nin often finds some good cheap diesel Mercs if you wanted to keep a posh badge.

Suzuki Swift GLS/SZ3, Nissan Note (1.6) Tekna. Both chain-driven, go for manual. Only 5 speed gearboxes though, I managed just fine on the motorways.
Headlights are rather poor. It’s fun to spin up the front tyres in a low-powered car, at times.
Thank you for your suggestions not many Suzuki swifts near me (Nottingham). Wheres the best place to look for cars is it Autotrader?Headlights are rather poor. It’s fun to spin up the front tyres in a low-powered car, at times.
And I bet - bit scary for me though

Car looks great thank you but Lancashire is a bit far from Nottingham! I’ll have a look at the Auris.http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2023060481...

Not bothered about posh badge reliability above all else!
This one is in Derby, not too far.

It's rocking the shed look with the steel wheels and it's very hard to tell how bad the body work is!
But contacting Bearman is a very good plan, he's been around the forums for ages and seems very well respected. Cars that are cheap to buy and run but do the job is his speciality.

Thanks for this! I went to look at a Mazda 2 which looked immaculate but when I got to the garage it had two flat tyres incredible rust and lots of body damage!http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2023061384...

I think I'd go see the Derby Yaris if possible.
The description sounds quite genuine. Being black it's hard to tell from those pics. On first glance it's got some large scratches but they could just be reflections as it seems polished. The bin bag on the seat may be hiding something or could be just to protect it. Long MOT and sounds like it's been maintained pretty well.
