A practical car for camping and cycling

We currently have a Nissan Qashqai, but are looking for a car with a more practical boot space. We do a lot of mountain biking and a lot of camping so often load the boot up with mountain bikes and camping equipment.

Budget is around £10k, I am considering a 4x4 or Pick-up, do you have any suggestions?

Best pick-up for £10k is an Isuzu Rodeo post late 2007 with the twin-chain-cam 2.5 I-TEQ diesel engine. The ride is awful but the seats are very comfortable, the engine is amiable and economical and it has one of the nicest gearshifts you will find.

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.
