2010 Fiat Bravo 1.4 Dynamic 78,000 miles, £2000

This is a keenly priced, dealer-offered petrol that will breeze into the ULEZ. It comes with a six-month warranty and a good spec: cruise control, alloys, rear parking sensors and more than 40mpg. It’s ready to be an efficient, smart and great-value runaround, and its four previous owners don’t seem to have left their mark.
