I am looking to change my Land Rover Freelander diesel company car for a more tax-friendly 4x4. Budget around £12,000, with a requirement for a generous boot size to carry medical supplies. Suggestions would be very welcome.

The most tax-friendly 4WD is the Toyota Urban Cruiser 1.4 D-4D at under 130g/km, providing you can find one for £12k. The oldest in the UK will be about 9 months old.
