Buying a 4x4
I'm in the market for a second hand SUV, got around £7k to spend.
Have previously owned an 03 Freelander which I liked, but had a lot of problems with. I was thinking Nissan X-Trail or RAV4, but I've heard some troubling things about the turbo on the 2.2 Dci engine, do all the X-trail engines have this problem?
Like the X-trail for it's offroad capability, as I do need that for work. I'm in a pickle, any advice gratefully received!

There were a lot of reports of problems with X-Trail 2.2 diesels a few years ago, but these died down and I have received very few complaints over the past two years. Otherwise it's an excellent vehicle.
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.
