Dear Lawrence, I’m after a comfortable diesel estate or MPV for my business with a big boot and folding seats. What will £8,000 get me?

CARS
THE ALL-ROUND CHOICE
Ford Mondeo
FOR: Nice to drive, refined, decent value
AGAINST: Superb is roomier, so-so reliability
ANYONE considering a large used estate should look at a Mondeo as a matter of course. It’s the go-to family car for good reason – it looks smart, is very well equipped and offers plenty of space.
It’s comfortable, sharp to drive and refined, and although the base engines struggle slightly for power, a 2.0-litre diesel is quick enough. We tracked down a 2010 2.0 TDCi Titanium X with 62,000 miles on the clock for £7,495.
THE SPACIOUS CHOICE
Skoda…
