Honda CRV or Accord Estate would be my go-to for something reliable with a decent boot.
CRV. We bought one a few years back. It's the best car I've ever had (well joint first with a V10 S6).It's the most reliable and comfortable car we've owned. It's never had a fault and only ever needed consumables. MPG could be better but that its the only criticism.
Boot is big and the seats fold completely flat by pulling two handles.

Anything with a bit of luxury?
I was looking at touregs xc60's audi all roads to name a few, are they unreliable compared to the suggestions?
I only say this as I can't get excited about driving a Honda or Vaux! I accept they fit the brief given but so tha ks for the suggestions!

I think I'd be straight to Volvo or Lexus with these requirements. V60 might suit the dog better for getting in and out but if that's not a problem, I think the later RX450h's are falling into this price range, even with sensible miles.
Some good Korean options too. Something like a Kia Sportage would be worth considering.

Crv looks good, are the diesel engines OK? Seem to be able to get a decent age and spec for £9k.
Also like the volvos mentioned, is the v60 as reliable as the v70? Just thinking same engine but newer car?
I have diesel CRV. Engine is fine. Fairly powerful and good pull. As I said above MPG could be better but that's more down to the shape and size of the car than the engine. Also like the volvos mentioned, is the v60 as reliable as the v70? Just thinking same engine but newer car?
