Would it make sense to buy an old model petrol Kia Sportage?

Would it make sense to buy an old model 2010 Kia Sportage 2.0-litre petrol with less than 20,000 kilometres on the clock? Asking price is €13,000. What kind of mpg should I expect (most of my driving is out of town)?

We have €3,500 plus an 01 Clio to sell or trade in.

Hey, just looking for advice for buying a used car. I'm looking to get something for a new family (expecting in four months). We have €3,500 plus an 2001 Clio to sell or trade in. Needs to be 1.4 or 1.6 and would prefer something 2005 upwards. We're not picky just confused on what to get so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks :)
