I do 25,000 miles a year as a taxi driver - should I switch from a diesel to a hybrid car?
I currently drive a diesel Toyota Verso as a tax. Would I be better off with with a hybrid Toyota Auris Estate? I do lots of short runs and about three or four motorway runs per week. I do roughly 25,000 miles per year.

I'd be inclined to stick with a diesel for 25,000 miles a year. You'll spend a lot more on fuel if you swap for the Auris, and the Verso is more practical as a taxi.
