I have heard that low mileage on a diesel car can be bad for it. I have heard this can damage the DPF and other things. Many people think about the maximum mileage they consider to be ok when they purchase a used car. My question is this: take the popular BMW 520d for example. What is the minimum mileage I can consider as being ok on a 2010/2011 car?

Hi,
I would like to know which you think is better to buy of these two: a BMW X3 or an Audi Q5. I would also like to know if you think the BMW X3 18d is a better buy than the 20d version or do you think it's underpowered
Thanks.

We are thinking of buying a 2008 Renault Laguna 1.5 diesel; are they as good on fuel economy as they claim they are and would it be a good family car?

I am trying to decide on a small van and would like to know, in your opinion, which is the most reliable from this list: Opel Combo, Citroen Berlingo, Volkswagen Caddy or Renault Kangoo. Bear in mind I would be looking at maybe 2004 to 2007, depending on cost.
Thank you
