We currently have two cars, a Citroen Xsara Picasso and a Ford Ka Collection, on 54 plate (47,700 miles).

We are a family of 5 so obviously we cannot fit into the Ka and we are looking to replace it.

We would like to keep the Picasso as it is very economical for us but we would also like something slightly bigger. We are thinking of an optional 7-seater with a large boot when the boot seats are not in use. We have a budget of £5,000 plus part exchange. This car will be used primarily for the school run, which is 12 miles a day plus additional childrens activities, shopping, work etc. We estimate approx 100-120 miles per week.

Please could you recommend a car that would fit our requirements within our budget?
