What should we replace our Ford Galaxy with?

Please can you recommend a used replacement for our 2004 Ford Galaxy Diesel? We’re 4 people and looking for similar luggage capacity with configurable seating and high driving position.

Use is mainly visiting family (320 miles away) 6 to 8 times a year when we carry lots of stuff, including bikes inside. Plus moving large furniture and bulky items with it. Looking for larger than Vauxhall Zafira and ULEZ compliant.

If your budget allows, we'd recommend a Skoda Kodiaq, which has a massive boot and a middle row that can slide back and forth in a 60/40 split, allowing you to maximise either boot space or rear legroom. If you're unlikely to use the third row of seating, it's worth looking for the five-seater version - even with the sixth and seventh seats folded, the seven-seater has a fair bit less boot space.
