Which car to replace a Renault Modus to tow a caravan?

We have a 2006 1.6 Modus, which we use for towing a 700kg caravan. We do 9000-10,000 miles a year but I have a nasty feeling it will need a new clutch before long. The size of car is perfect as we only have a short driveway. We are nearly 75 and wonder whether to consider a change as a new(ish) car would probably then see us out. Any ideas or thoughts welcome.
