Which is the best value used seven-seater for the school run?
Can you recommend a six/seven-seater car? It will be used solely for the school run (a couple of miles each day). The kids are primary school aged. I'm ideally looking for something under £10,000 but could stretch to a bit more if the car was right.

I'd go for the Volkswagen Touran. It has seven seats that have plenty of room for adults and the cabin is very well designed – you get good access to the third row and the seats' folding mechanisms won't take your fingers off like they do in some of the VW's rivals. Interior quality is good for the price, the VW has excellent infotainment and the engines are strong. Your budget will get a 2010 1.4-litre petrol (ideal for short journeys because there's no DPF to clog) model with fewer than 60,000 on the clock.
