If the car is to be used in the main for short trips then a petrol would probably be the best option. With a diesel you may get problems with the diesel particulate filter unless the car gets several decent runs every month to burn off the soot.
I think you will struggle to find a decent petrol V40 for the budget, you would need to spend a further £2/3,000.
The C30 S E Lux will have a better spec than the R Design and I believe the 2.0L Ford/Mazda petrol engine is usually very reliable.
