What's the best used estate for £13k?

I want to buy a used estate car in preparation for my expanding family, but I'm not sure what the best option is. My budget is around £13,000 and I will also be using the car for my work journey (approx 12,000 miles per year).

I would ideally love a BMW 320D, but in budget the mileage would be pretty high. Fords has always been a good cars for me and it seems I could ignore the badge for a Mondeo Estate with decent spec and low mileage for the same price. Any thoughts?

For £13,000 you'll get an almost new Ford Mondeo 2.0TDCI or 1.6TDCI estate.
