Sounds fun. Also sounds very unlikely to come up very often in non huge mileage.
Plus I don't need something super fast. I don't want something super sluggish either, but I should probably be prioritising 'reliable family car' a little more.
A less fancy version of Neil's car does sound quite appealing.

The second point makes it tough especially with your budget. Keep in mind that many diesels will still be ULEZ compliant, so you don't necessarily have to rule them out. But long term they're probably not the sensible choice.
Most scoobys are petrol, although not very fuel efficient. Not very exciting, but the Passat is comfortable with one of the biggest boots around. Mercs are gonna be more comfortable than the other premium German cars.
