Could you please tell me how reliable the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0-litre four-wheel drive is with 93,000 miles on the clock already?

Would a 2007 Volvo XC90 be reliable to buy? This one has 112,000 miles on the clock.

We are looking for a large, family SUV, preferably a Volvo XC90, as our priorities are space and safety. It needs to take two car seats and another person in the back, with space in the boot for a pushchair and shopping. Are there any other cars that would be on a par with the safety record of an XC90?

What is the original market value of the 2014 Hyundai i40 Executive?

I'm looking to downsize my car, and am leaning towards a Toyota Yaris 1.4 diesel. I do a lot of miles, and am a single mum, so need something reliable, with cheap tax and good economy. Can you tell me roughly the mpg I can expect from an 08 model?

Thanks

Would you recommend a Volkswagen Cross Polo? I already drive a diesel Golf (2010). Thinking of downsizing as I'll be 74 this year.

Hello, can you tell me how much VRT would be due on a 2013 Morgan 4/4 with CO2 emissions of 143g/km and 4,000 miles on the clock? UK price is £31,000. I can't find anything on the VRT calculator and Revenue haven't as yet gotten back to me - asked them three weeks ago!!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, my 1997 E 230 Mercedes estate just failed its NCT and I've decided not to put any more money into keeping it going. I am looking for a second hand, large seven-seater (for three kids and two dogs), with a budget of approx €6,000.

I want space, practicality, reliability and preferably low running costs. My preference would be Ford Galaxy (on reputation), but mileage in my price range tends to be high. French brands (Citroen C8, Peugeot 807 and Renault Espace) seem to review poorly. Hyundai Trajet maybe? SEAT Alhambra? Any others I should be considering? All advice gratefully received.

I am looking at buying a Renault Mégane Monaco 1.5 diesel. Are these good cars? Are they reliable? Would they be cheap on diesel?

I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Opel Astra 1.7 diesel. What do you think of these cars? Have you driven them? Are they reliable? What sort of trouble do they give?
