Unsecured personal versus extending mortgage

Hi all,
I really need to replace my Car but need to raise about £8k to pay for it. I have a good credit rating and could get an unsecured personal loan at 8.9% over perhaps 4 years or put another £8k on my mortgage which is currently tracking at 0.68% and runs for another 13 years.
I'm reluctant to add to my mortgage but its current rate is very good and I might be able to repay quicker on the other hand the rates will surely rise considerably in the future.
Which is best any ideas?
John.
