Should I change from diesel to petrol?

I have a Nissan Qashqai DCi 1.5 diesel with 50,000 on the clock. I do 10,000 miles a year. I am 76 years of age, thought this car would see me out but diesel appears to be getting a bad name. We love it but should we change to petrol? If so, what would you recommend that is as reliable and what price should we ask for this one? The reg plate is YS59 FCY.
