Posted earlier in thread, my mate traded a Sportage in recently....had virtually fallen apart after 5yrs.Same here. It’s decent but nothing really special.

I`ve had my Susuki Splash 10 years with 19,000 on the clock when i bought it . Currently has 143,000 . Main gearbox baring went at 100,000 which seems standard in these cars . apart from that , it had it`s second clutch and a new battery last week and that`s it really apart from tyres and bulbs .My Honda says....you're talking bollox! ;)

@Two Gun BobA 3008 Peugeot diesel would be very much good to go. Great looks and interior and beautiful velour trim on the GT pre 71 plate. The Allure premium would still get nice looks and plaudits though and should be acheivable at around 16k on a 71 plate on average mileage. Give the 1.2 petrol a big swerve for wet belt reasons alone.
The GT model can still have that plush velour trim on a 71 plate on a 21 year. The bean counters waded in on january 22 year cars reducing the seating spec to that of an allure premium and below. Not a biggy but nevertheless similar in dimention to reducing the size of our chocolate bars, tubs of margerine, tins of roses and celebrations etc etc.
Soooooo.........
Fas the OP bought a car yet or not and what did you plump for Stuuuuuuu??
I've followed this thread closely as I'm in the same position and was looking at similar types of cars.
I can't quite afford the volvo and I was convinced I would go for a Sportage.
But, I've narrowed it down to a choice between a Qashqai and a Peugeot 3008

On the basis of the wet belt alone, then probably yes. If you really like the car then have the belt checked for wear, keep on top of servicing schedules, and absolutely use the correct PSA grade oil.@Two Gun Bob

I've decided that I am going to lease a Volve XC40 for three or four years then re-evaluate. I like the idea of an electric car or maybe a plug-in hybrid so that I can do my daily (shortish) journey to work on electric.Soooooo.........
