What fairly recent estate?
Discussion
My dad is on the hunt for second hand estate - key requirements are not much more than 5 years old, sub 30000 miles, reliable - and ideally a decent steer - he does enjoy driving but values reliability and usability over performance.
Needs to be a C or D segment car, doesn’t need anything huge like an E class.
Open to petrol, hybrid or diesel as long as it’s decent economy and reliable - doesn’t do mega miles but does enough long journeys regularly to clear any dpfs etc. He has also said he doesn’t want a small engine in this size of car - no 1.0 to 1.2 litres in a car of this size.
What would you recommend that best meets this brief? He likes some of the vag estates but the engines are a minefield by the look of it - some with good reps and some with terrible and I’m not sure which is which!
Budget is about 15k.
Thanks for any advice.

Cheers everyone. Funnily enough I’d recommended the Corolla estate but he’d discounted it due to price even though he liked the look of it. I’ll mention that to him about upping the mileage a bit (don’t think there’s much scope to up the budget) to see if he could get into one of those. Must admit, still a bit confused re the VAG engines from the comments above - is the 1.5tsi good or not? Think a 1.2 would be a bit small in Octavia sized car.
