Default Downgrading to a diesel wagon?

As the title suggests i'm thinking of selling my FG XR6 Turbo ute as my work will be moving (epping market). My weekly km's will increase dramatically, (6-800km) so a diesel wagon is on the shortlist. Doing a fair bit of reading and narrowed it down to these:

Skoda Octavia
Mazda 6 diesel
Mondeo

Budget around $25k give or take. Am i going to regret a diesel in the long run with DPF issues, high service costs, auto dramas etc?. My other option a Ecolpi ute. Need something that can tow a trailer/ has a bit of space for weekends away.

Any direction would be appreciated
