What engine capacity?

I am looking to buy a 58 Qashqai. I do about 15,000 miles per year. I go to Bristol - a round trip of approx 220 miles - usually weekly. Is the 1.5 diesel OK for this or should I look at the 2.0 diesel?

On a 58 reg the 1.5 does not have a diesel particulate filter, but the 2.0 diesel does. The 2.0 is a stronger chain cam engine. The 1.5 is belt cam, yet still quite punchy and very economical.
