Thought about a pickup? My ranger on a 56 plate costs £125 a year to tax and commercial tax doesnt seem to go up as fast as car tax, 4x4 abilities I have tried with it so far are good, returns 28mpg average, 156bhp, 3 tonne towing limit (largest of all the pickup crew cabs about). Ok I got stung on insurance because I am still "young" (27 years old :roll: ) but mot is still classed as group 4 so cheap. Loads of room in the boot for kids buggies etc as well.

unfortunatly the MOT on a dual purpose vehicle is not class 4 any more, they have changed the ruleing on this as people have always been unsure about it, and they have changed the class for dual purpose vehicles exceding 2040KG ULW (un-ladened weight)i can t find the information on the internet about it, but i can get the information from the MOT computer at work and scan it in and post it up here,

Being quite a lot older I have the benefit of £125pa on tax and cheap insurance on a navara. Makes a good road motor but a bit large for proper off roading.
Double cabs are still class 4 this year, changing to class 7 next year. Not much difference since a class 7 mot is about a quid more than class 4.

My 05 Disco 3 is the lower tax bracket £215 I think, I wouldn't give it up, take out an aftermarket warranty to cover those moments, have a look at www.disco3.co.uk superb information and help, my servicing and repairs are carried out by a mobile mechanic from the site and 7 very comfortable seats, with superb off road ability.
carbore:
I strongly suspect my next Car will be a Disco 3 like the above, I need something with capcity for 4+granny and pams etc + offroad abillity and Van like boot space.
