2.0TDI manual will be fine, but i guess you’re concerned about the short journeys?
Yes that’s my main worry. After how many miles would you say the DPF starts to clog up?

How long is a piece of string?

Honda Civic, almost same size boot as the XC60, good reliable petrol engines, not 4wd though
Soldato
CRV or Mazda CX-5 or even the Tiguan would be worth a look.
Soldato
Mazda is a good shout. Arr kid has one, one of few cars of that class with sensible supply of petrol engines. She does short journeys only so diesel wasn't a good option for her.
A Mazda CX-5 petrol would be £14k+. Same with the Tiguan. The problem I have is finding something within my budget
Soldato
Surprised that a Mazda of equivalent age is dearer than the Volvo, the Volvo is a superior car. Theres plenty of Tiguans (2010) in the 6/7k bracket, same for the CRV.
Any links? The ones I’ve looked for are way over my budget. Thanks

Mazda's been around since 2012, so can't see an 8 year old car being £14k...

The Tiguan doesn’t seem too bad. The main requirement I have that it needs to be an auto. Both me and the wife have manual licenses but she’s been driving an auto for the past 8 years so struggles with a manual

10 Yr old bottom of the barrel auto diesel. Sounds like a recipe for win.

6K DSG Tiguan? No thanks.
