Can you recommend a reliable diesel for under £3000?

I did fancy an Audi A4 diesel or a Volkswagen equivalent but I am finding the used prices very high. Can you recommend an equally reliable and worthy diesel of this size for £2000 - £3000? I assume there are cars just as good, but the Audi and Volkswagens are just very fashionable.
