Replacing a V70 with a new petrol estate

We have a 2002 V70 2.4 petrol auto estate and are looking to replace it with something of similar size.

The car averages 8000 miles per year and being wary of what HJ has said about diesel engines, we have looked at various used car websites (BMW, Audi, VW, Volvo) and with the exception of Mercedes we cannot find any 1 to 2 year old automatic petrol estates for sale. Can you recommend anything please. We are looking to spend £20-25000
