    With that low mileage short distance driving go for petrol. Simpler less to go wrong and cheaper to buy. The savings running a diesel over such small miles would be tiny.

    Get a small petrol , less trouble perfectly fine for those distances

    Nice ford focus 1.4 is a reliable solid car with nice handling and space

    I would go for Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5 or 1.8 Petrol. Really reliable
