I do about 8000 miles a year, once a fortnight a 30 mile round trip on A roads, 5 weekly trips of less than 5 miles round trip and the big trip once every 3 months or so of 200- 300 miles. I wouldn’t have ordered a diesel due to the mileage and type of trips I do. Normally I would expect the fortnightly trip to be enough to keep the battery going and blow out any gremlins as it’s an almost continuous 60 mph.
