Seen in southern England in May. It was very small and had landed on our vehicle.

Not a beetle, but a plant bug (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Miridae); possibly Dryophilocoris flavoquadrimaculatus - see http://tinyurl.com/mrkwcc - but there are other similar appearing species in the UK.

That looks good to me. Couldn't it have a common name!!

The closest thing to a common name is the four spot yellow and black plant bug....but url says that can confuse it with other yellow and black plant bugs......they don't make it easy....grin
