Can you recommend a diesel estate car with a flat load area?

We are looking for an estate car with a flat load area. We would like a 2014 to 2018 car. As I mostly do motorway driving, we would like a diesel. What do you recommend?

If you want a spacious estate car the Skoda Superb is hard to beat, the Mercedes E-Class is a great option if you're looking for something a bit more premium which will hold its value better. A nice older-model 2010 E-Class (which has a great reputation for reliability) will set you back £10,000-15,000 depending on condition and specification. The same money will get you a current version of the Skoda from 2015.
