small 6-7 seat MPV - Best used small MPV (£5k - £10k) 4 Aug 2010 (Forum)
maybe the FRV is the answer (wouldn't even have to be a diesel as the petrol is quite efficient). Ford S-Max looks great, but I'm worried by the reliability - lots of problems reported, which is a shame as Ford reliability has been pretty good in the last 10 years. Advice appreciated -

Mazda 6 - Mazda 6 / Ford Mondeo Diesel Engines 8 Apr 2010 (Forum)

Buying advice - family car for three in rear 30 Oct 2023 (Forum)
on the narrow lanes near us. This leaves me pretty much with the S-Max unless I am missing something. My main issue is that the petrol engines are far too thirsty but I'm concerned with the shorter journeys being an issue for the DPF in the diesel. Especially as the budget is looking at 70k 10+ year old models -
