There are various flavours of the thing, but the Transit Connect might come in something to suit your needs?
Plenty of the things around, which bodes well for tow bars, spares, parts and other things.

Hi Daniel,
I run a Transit Connect for my electrical business and I enjoy driving it. It is not the fastest thing on the road, but it will sit at 80mph and
return over 40mpg. Parts are cheap and plentiful, but if you are looking to tow with one they have a towing max with brakes 1150kg.
Regards
Jon

I have a short wheelbase caddy but it's the 2.0tdi 6spd version. If you can find one id to for the larger capacity... especially if your lugging
anything heavy about! Just watch for dual mass flywheels/ cambelt and waterpump when buying one.
Mark.
