Replacement 4x4
I have a BMW 520D (2009) which averages 54mpg at 70 mph+.
However I am looking to replace it, ideally with a 4x4. Budget up to £25k, either new or up to 6 months Old.
Looking for good consumption and good overtaking power.
Have looked at Freelander, X5, Q5, BMW X3 (F25).
What would you suggest that will give me a comfortable drive, good consumption ( high 40's on motorway) and overtaking ability?

You don't have anything like enough for an F25 X3. Pushing it to find a used Q5 for £25k. You could manage a Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2 diesel 4WD. They handle very well and I got 45mpg, which is better than you'll get from a Freelander II 2.2 with the same engine. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/mitsubishi/outland.../ I also got 55mpg from a 2WD Mitsubishi ASX: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/mitsubishi/mitsubi.../
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
