Recommend a seven-seat MPV for £3000?
Friends of ours are staying in the UK for about 12 months with two small children, and want to buy a second hand seven-seat MPV and sell it when they depart. They have a budget of £3000. Can you suggest the best models to look at and where to buy? They like the Vauxhall Zafira.

The Ford Galaxy, SEAT Alhambra or Volkswagen Sharan diesel. They are the same vehicle with different badges and are the most common seven-seat MPV on the UK market.
Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.

Good to drive and comfortable. Versatile with foldaway seats. Generally good quality. Diesel automatic option. Plenty of room in all back seats.

True seven-seater with more cheerful trim than its VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy equivalents. Good car-like drive.
