CR-V petrol or diesel?

For some time I've been looking for a CRV EX preferred petrol up to 3 or 4 years old without success. What problems would I face if I bought a diesel? My annual mileage is about 8000 consisting mostly journeys of 6 miles from my village to town and a weekly 20 mile blast up the M40.

If it's a CR-V 2.2iCTDI no problem because no DPF. If it's a 2.2iDTEC then repeated short runs from cold have been known to clog the DPF.
