Commercial vans like as big as a caddy/combo considered.

The combo 1.7 izuzu are a great yoke.. Very reliable, uncle has one with 170k on it, never let him down.

Will you be covering as many miles as ever Corkie?

May I recommend a C5/406/75 and an older Avensis

In van shaped things maybe a Partner

Van Auctions in Dublin Mal, saw one bought there recently, a new shape Caddy - was bought for 1400 Euro. Bloody cheap, I'd have had it myself for that money.

Nippy as you'd expect, but will go forever on a tank.

As you know you'll get better value petrol cars if that's the mileage but if it must be a diesel

Lots of what shows up seems to have 170k+ miles and be shabby looking. Is that ok?

I assume you want something somewhat respectable looking

I'll probably be disposing of my avensis td soon.

Citroen Xantia with 3 months tax and 11 months NCT. Probably a bit of room to move on the asking price:

For 1500 euro in a car you will be way back in the years a clean avensis however the car tax is 660 euro a year, @14 miles a day by 365 is about 5000 miles the most extra a petrol car will cost of fuel for that is 350 a bit more than the difference in car tax but you would have more cars open to you

If you go back in the years try to get a low milage clean one however a small van is the ideal option if you can tax commercial caddy,berlingo partner transit-connect or an seat inca however if you go to the auctions you could get a 06-07 for that price also if you had another 12-15 hundred a lot of dealers are selling Ex post office for over 2500 there are kangoo or berlingo's

I posted this in bangernomics. For €1500 you would probably make an appreciating classic out of it!

I'd go for the likes of a 1.6 petrol focus at that mileage tbh, you'll see 30+ mpg easily enough and in the winter you'll get the heat into the car much quicker

I can see why you'd prefer a diesel still though.

Fails the max engine size criteria but might be got for €1500 as they are not hugely popular, fresh miles wise.

Couple of Toledos here right on budget and right on your doorstep ( more or less )
Reason I suggest a toledo is you are familiar with VAG cars and they are surprisingly comfortable.
