Which MPV to replace our SEAT Alhambra?

I used to drive a SEAT Alhambra 1.9 TDI SE until a lorry went into the back of me recently. I'm now looking to replace my vehicle, and out of the vehicles listed below I wondered which you would recommend for me and my family to be the most practicable, reliable and affordable to run and service. I like the elevated position of most of MPVs and would always go for a diesel. We only have a budget of £6500-7000. I'm considering the Ford Galaxy Ghia, Volkswagen Sharan TDI SE, Renault Grand Espace and Mitsubishi Grandis.

Another Galaxy or Sharan. Identical vehicles in this age and price bracket. You don't quite have enough for a current shape Galaxy.
