Your top 3 family off roader for under 10k

[vwcoder]

Hi all

I have got to the point of being a bit lost with the various off road options available on the 2nd hand market for under 10k.

I have a wife, 3 boys and a dog. I want to be able to use the vehicle for standard camping, remote camping, green laning, fishing trips, carrying bikes/kayaks etc. I have a day car so this would be more for recreational summer /some winter use. The vehicle obviously needs quite a lot of luggage space.

I also want something which we can travel as a family in relative comfort on the motorway to get to our destination (so ruling our defenders). We are on the UK south coast but would like to venture into the depths of Scotland for example.

A Land Rover Discovery ticks most of the boxes but I keep getting scared off with reliability issues. Crew cab trucks have also been looked at but not great for carrying dogs in the no boot etc. Other I have looked at include Nissan Patrol, Land Cruisers etc.

Your top 3 advice would be amazing!

Thanks
