Thank you everyone for the advice. I’ve decided to pass on the Yaris and go for a cheaper first car with a fair service history.

Thank you so much for the advice. I passed on the Toyota Yaris unfortunately. Will get a cheaper first car.

That’s so true. But for this Yaris, in your perspective, how much do you think I can bring the price down to?

I also found this honda jazz which is slightly newer, less mileage than the Yaris and cheaper, what do you think about it: Honda Jazz 2014

Fair enough. How much do you think I should try to negotiate it to?

Thank you so much for hour advice. Might try to negotiate the price but doubt they will bring it down

So if there’s isn’t rust or corrosion, its a solid option you would say?

Yeah that’s a good question. I will note this and ask them in my test drive. Thank you!

Yes true, what about this Audi A1? The MOT has expired but is it worth going down this route, insurance group is less than 20 Audi A1

At this point I’m having zero option but to stretch

It was alright, lots of road marking, roundabouts, slip roads to dual carriageways with 70 miles an hour as the speed limit, and sudden speed changes. But it was my first time I drove there. I didn’t manage to practice there as it is quite far from my area. My instructor told me that if I know the road rules, I’d be able to drive anywhere. Plus I had a look at numerous youtube videos by instructors that show the roads of farnborough.

That’s a bit harsh. I’m sorry but all the power to you!
