Have an old 2001 Elddis Jetstream GT which we have owned for just over a year now, up until September I had use of a new Nissan Navara which was great but then I changed jobs and now don't have a company car I can use to tow cry We have an old D22 2004 Navara which is primarily used as a farm car but this is quite 'agricultural' for long journeys so I'm looking into getting something else to use daily and to tow the caravan. Options I keep swaying between at the minute are as follows - 

  • BMW 320d/520d Touring, approx 2012 
  • Skoda Octavia Scout, approx 2015
  • Audi A4 Allroad, approx 2012

Seem to be able to get the above for similar prices and with under 100k miles hopefully so now trying to gauge reliability and differentiate between them, obviously the Skoda and Audi are 4wd, BMW isn't (unless stump up the extra for an Xdrive version) , wondering whether its worth the extra or not bother? Whichever we go for the annual mileage will only be approx 5-6k per year and commuting is only likely to be approx 35 miles per day so running costs shouldn't be that great. 

Any previous experiences would be great to hear along with any other options I may be missing

Cheers
