2012 100k 530D Touring for £12.5k - bad idea? Alternatives?
Discussion
Won't be as nice to drive as the 6cyl Merc or BMW but for comfort, space and reasonable running costs something like this would be hard to beat:

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Just for a bit of closure to this thread, I ended up buying a 2013 Mercedes E250 CDI Estate.
I looked at a Skoda Superb (a 2015 SEL Business model fully loaded with almost every option) and found it plenty roomy but a bit unexciting and very similar to being in my Golf, and also felt a bit slow (150BHP TDI version) after trying the BMW.
I had intended to look at a Jag but I was so impressed with the Merc (which came from a main dealer with FMBSH and a 12 month warranty) that I decided to end my search and buy it for a little under £12.5k.
Obligatory pics (Merc are going to refurb the wheels before I collect the car):

I bought my late 2014 520d M-sport touring for £14K with 95K on the clock in Jan 2018. I'm about to sell it now with 130K on it, no problems at all except a head unit that was changed under warranty. Great car. PM me if you're interested - I was going to WBAC it as I'm going for a lease for a couple of years but would sell to a PHer - so long as I can avoid the "best offer M8" types!
