i know there is some stories about them being written off with the slightest prang.

but the 25's are stupidly cheep, and would be a good run around.

Not really, head gaskets are pretty common but other than that they are quite reliable. Interior is a bit cack and falls apart easily though.

Parts may be more difficult to get hold of these days, hence the cars being more likely written off.

Due to modern car design (i.e. a crumple zone) most cars are written off after small crashes because a replacement car is a cheaper option.
