Recommendation for a used car for a beekeeper?
Please can you recommend a second-hand car for a beekeeper to carry all his beekeeping paraphernalia. Also does four trips a year of around 600 miles each and the car is required for a daily commute. Have a budget of around £15,000.

A Skoda Octavia Estate could be a good option. It's a very practical estate car with plenty of space for beekeeping paraphernalia. It also represents excellent value for money on the used market, with your £15,000 budget getting a petrol model from 2019.
If you need even more space, consider the bigger Skoda Superb. Alternatively, a family SUV like the Kia Sportage should do the job nicely.

Limousine-like amounts of rear legroom. Clever dual tailgate means it's both a hatch and a saloon. GreenLine model is very economical. A lot of car for the money.

Saloon shape but actually a practical hatchback. Far superior interior quality than previous model.
One of the best crossovers on the market, well-equipped, seven-year warranty, practical and spacious.
