Toyota Avensis Tourer 2.2 D-4D or 1.8 V-matic
I drive about 12,000 per year and am looking at a 2009 Avensis Tourer 2.2 D-4D TR with 70,000 from a main dealer (Toyota approved, 12 months warranty) or a 2010 1.8 V-matic TR with 56,000 from a 'supermarket'. The petrol has sat nav, tints and reversing camera and both are around £8k. Which is the better choice?

The petrol 1.8i Valvematic is the better choice. Much nicer engine, 56k miles rather than 70k, no turbo, no DPF problems.

Solid car. Sophisticated multi-link suspension deliberately unstressed for long life. Quite quick T180 diesel from July 2006.
