Could you suggest a large replacement for my Hyundai i30?
I think the time has come to replace my 2008 diesel Hyundai i30 2.0-litre CRDI. Over the last two years the fuel pump failed, then the turbo and now the air con condenser at approx £250 to replace. I'm not bothered by 'bells and whistles' or badges, I just want a comfortable, large cabin - but I suppose my car style is now 'old fashioned'. I want four doors with reasonable access for two oldies to get in the rear and probably petrol engine as I'm not doing the miles now. I have no idea about engine size - just something that has a bit of poke for motorway driving. I won't be looking at new - probably pre-reg or one year old. Any suggestions to get me started on the search would be greatly appreciated.

A Hyundai ix20 is taller, but smaller. Might work for you. A Tucson is bigger and you can get it with a really good 1.6T GDI petrol engine. MPVs are roomier, but they are now a dying breed. Maybe a Peugeot 3008, which is a sort of MPV/SUV with an excellent 1.2 PureTech 130 petrol engine. Goes well, so far reliable and decent mpg.

I'm considering buying a nearly new MPV due to mobility issues. Would you recommend a Citroen C4 or a Ford C-Max, or anything else in that price range?

I've found a nearly new car for sale but it has been in the manufacturer's compound for six months. Will this car give me lot of problems? Or should I request a brand new order and wait for it to arrive?
