Which small MPV?

For a large family, our T reg Volkswagen Sharan has performed sterling work, but is now getting tired.

Changes in the family mean that we can go from a full blown seven-seater, to a five-seater with two in the boot.

I've looked at the Ford C-Max, which seems hard to find, as well as Grand Scenics, which CarGiant seems to have a glut of, Picassas and Zafiras.

With a budget of about £7k for a petrol automatic, what's my best bet?

C-Maxes do not have "2 in the boot". You are pretty much reduced to a Grand Scenic, Toyota Verso or a KIA Carens.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
