New SUV

Free road tax is only on some cars registered before 01-04-2017 from memory.
Or an EV but only until 2025.
EV’s are a no go for me due to charging infrastructure, home charger not available for me.
Plus with the price per kWh my 2016 diesel is cheaper to run.

My next car is probably going to be a Toyota Corolla hybrid touring sports.
Design or excel, Design was £26k a while back but a newer model is out now and it’s around 29-30k
If you know where to look.

Old offer and model.

My friend has a Toyota Prius 2015 with 187k on the clock.
Apart from serving and brake pad, only 2 things have gone wrong.
At 150k the electric water pump went, 5 bolts and an hour of our time to fix. £210 with new antifreeze.
Two weeks ago the hybrid battery was failing, mpg down to 44.
Found a Toyota specialist in Norbury near Croydon, scanned the car to confirm battery was the issue.
Brought out a brand new genuine boxed Toyota battery and fitted it all for £1400.
He is now back to 62 mpg, cabbing it.
Neither of these issues stopped the car from driving.

This is what I would call reliable.

When you decide, check out these brokers prices.
Print out the quotes and beat you local dealer with them.
Not used any of them but others on here might have and could give the thumbs up.

Budget?

I'm tempted by the new electric Jeep coming out next month - not sure it's big enough for you, though
