Also not ulez compliant if that matters.
The diesels won't be, the petrols will be.OP - have a read of this and I'm pretty sure bolidemichael lives in the London ULEZ https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
This one looks good.

last of the line 350 and I think they snuck these under the 225g/km limit for full fat tax.
I have thought about buying one of these for years hence beardary. Now have a similar GL 420 CDI.

Left field !
I know someone getting rid of a 2005 LHD Honda Odessey, 3.5 V6 petrol, low tax, towbar and its got 7 or 8seats. Bought new and brought back over from the US. We went camping together, he use to get his 4kids in plus all the camping stuff and bikes on the back, I had a Disco3 at the time and its similar loading.

You'll be wanting a long wheelbase one, they're pretty robust but as others have said due to the air suspension they can be costly (around £500 per corner exchange) but they're no more costly than any other car with air suspension.
You'll want a 350 model as they're lower tax:

ZX10R NIN said:
As trevalvole says above, I’ve been running one. It has the larger 5.5L V8 and as it’s the ‘facelift’ has seven as opposed to six seats. ZX10R’s example looks good, but the price is toppy in my estimation. I’d be expecting that to be around £6k, perhaps a little more for low miles and ULEZ compliance, but at this mileage the air bags start to go and sink slowly overnight.
Another leftfield but good option is the Subaru Tribeca

Thank you everyone, some really useful feedback.
We're going to go and have a look at a couple- thoughts on suspension noted; one of the few specialist garages we have near us is a merc specialist, hopefully can keep on top of things.
We currently have a subaru outback, which the r class will replace. Been extremely reliable, but its very slow, uncomfy and not been a great place to live!

Those things don’t hang around… I’ve been on the autobahn and autostrada over the last couple of days and the 350s shift!
