Hatchback with decent MPG

Do you have the facility to charge a car at home or work?
Depending on how many miles you cover in a typical day a plug in hybrid could also be an option. I bought one recently and it works very well for my use case. 

Afraid not - has to be self charging

A Toyota is a no brainer for the mpg, you won't however get fun to drive with the CVT gearbox.

I had a 2014 Auris hybrid and the mpg was no better than my 2007 Focus.  

Then your Auris was broken or your Focus was diesel.

My Focus is petrol.  42 mpg

Auris did 43.5 mpg

I think I had too high a proportion of motorway miles to gain the best of a hybrid

Hybrids are best in town driving. 

I hate the term self charging hybrid, they are not self charging! The ultimate in misleading marketing which is actually band in many countries. 

£25k might (just) get you into a brand new 40kw Leaf via CarWow or the like. If you can charge at home and don’t do more than 150 miles a day it should suit you. They are fun to drive.

I took the use of the term 'mpg' in the thread title and 'petrol or hybrid' in their first sentence as a strong hint the OP didn't want an EV.

You’ll beat any mpg figure in an electric car!

Unfortunately I can't get an electric car as I have no access to a charging point.
