    Try a ford focus 1.6 tdci. You would get a 08 one for that money easily and tax is 225 I think. Very economical with cheap tax and good engine

    Im also looking for the same criteria; diesel, low tax, good fuel efficiency & around 2007/08 in around the e8k to e8.5k price range. The list of cars i ve narrowed things down to include the ford focus, opel astra, vw golf (leaning towards this but things may change). Also lookin at the toyota avensis but these are priced a little bit over the price range.

    Audi A4 TDI

    I've had two, then foolishly went over to Merc.

    The Audi ticks all the required boxes.
