Need a car for a 14k commute - what do you recommend?

Which small/medium sized car is best for a 14,000 miles commute to work? I have £5000 to spend.

Pre-mid-2010 KIA cee'd or Hyundai i30 1.6CRDI without a DPF. make sure it doesn't have a DPF. Though they have not been trouble on these engines so far, they could be, and Hyundai/KIA avoided fitting them as long as they could.
