You're asking way too much for £500 and 40mpg!

4x4 sap fuel economy, and £500 will get you a shitter regardless of what it is!

My £500 frontera wasnt a shitter at all (before I got my hands on it) it was on 80,000 with full service history, really good condition, but now it gets abuse off road and I have attempted to drown it a couple of times
