Any vehicle over 10 years old will need maintenance and repairs, so you will need to set aside a sizable amount for that. Parts for anything are pretty expensive these days, so best to keep this in mind. None of these vehicles will be particularly cheap to run.

The MG will be the newest, and there seem to be a fair number on the roads. But long term durability is something that has still not been established.

The Vezel is likely to be the best on fuel, but those do have issues with the transmission.

The Kias  and Hyundais are pretty good but thirsty if you're looking at Petrols. Diesels need rebuilding earlier than Japanese diesels and are more likely to have been run hard. They also need Super diesel.

Montero Sport is an old school truck and is only better than the others in a pure off road situation.

Outlanders are generally considered to be reliable but how well the hybrid components will be with age is an open question. If you;re ok with fuel consumption of 5-6 in the city, a non PHEV version might be a good choice as they are pretty much bulletproof if reasonably well maintained.
