you can get a good Citroen Dispatch combi 14 plate under 20,000 miles for around £15,000 or less....My first one done 198,000 and the guys who has it now is still clocking up the miles and is happy with it...

Never had a failure that required mine being towed home in all my Dispatches 190,000 miles..the PSA diesel HDI engine is a fairly rebust and reliable unit, I had Nuisance niggles certainly but it never failed to get me home under it's own steam.
