Buying a used family car with loads of room - suggestions?

We're looking for something that will take 3 child seats across the back and has loads of space to take camping gear, cases, etc. Most runs are a few miles, but generally once a week I do a 25 miles each way return trip with a few hours between. Our budget is preferably about £20K, but could stretch to £25K.

Standard answer is a Citroen C4 Picasso, but it depends on your child seats. Some of these are so wide these days that no car will take 3 across.

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.
