the lowest insururance group and most reliable......obviously going to be a second hand one

Whats your budget, including insurance? Bear in mind she will end up denting it.
Usually, japanese and korean stuff is reliable like toyota, hyundai, daihatsu, kia, but sometimes this can also mean they get neglected and have oil like treacle. After a certain age/price its pot luck.
If you have a budget of £4000, I'd put £1500 aside for insurance, £1500 for the car and £1000 for repairs it might need. Better than spending £2500 on a carand praying that its faultless.0
