Look at the following options which would you chooseDaytonagrey said:I do 6k miles a year and have had my diesel for a year this month. It has driven brilliantly without any problem at all. I don't think the choice of petrol vs diesel should be made on the annual mileage driven - it is more to do with the type of mileage you do. As long as your annual mileage includes a reasonable mix of journeys, and includes a short motorway trip every now and again then a diesel should be fine fine whatever your total annual mileage..
