Far more relevant is what sort of driving you do.
If it's mostly urban, stop/start, low speeds, short runs then a diesel is the worst possible choice.
Modern diesels aren't hugely efficient until fully warmed up, which can take 7 or 8 miles. In addition, modern diesels used for urban / short run driving will suffer DPF problems far sooner, and those are usually excluded from even manufacturer's warranties.
The general rule these days is that if you're doing less than 15k miles a year, go petrol, or even hybrid / electric
