Which family car?

I am looking to spend up to £15,000 on a used car. I am undecided between a Ford Mondeo 2.0 Zetec and a Peugeot 508 2.0 estate or a Hyundai i40 1.7 CRDi estate.

Can you offer any advice to which of these models may be the best car for my needs. I will be doing about 10,000 annual mileage.

The Hyundai is likely to be the most reliable and will give around 50mpg. The Mondeo will be the easiest and cheapest to get serviced and fixed. The much delayed new Mondeo arrives next year.
