Our 12-year-old Renault Kangoo is now on its last legs, our Hyundai i20 is too small as a main family car for two adults and three growing kids, and we no longer need two cars. I love the cavernous boot of the Kangoo but not, unfortunately, its reliability. Street cred is of absolutely no importance to us, nor are "bells and whistles" (air con would be a plus but isn't essential). The really important things are reliability and economy.

We're happy to part exchange both cars plus up to £8000 (preferably less) for a car up to a couple of years old but no more, and would be looking to keep it until the end of its life, by which time our kids will all be adult size so the back seat needs to accommodate three adults. As my mum lives with us an optional sixth seat would be a bonus, but it's not essential by any means. We only do up to 10,000 miles/year and probably not in long enough journeys to have a diesel. The only cars I would definitely not have, for personal reasons, are Volkswagen and Skoda. What would you recommend?
