....allow me to sleep in the back occasionally great mpg and build quality.

Roomster, Kangoo, Caddy? Your thoughts please. Don't really care how slow or how terrible drive is.

edit: needs to fit wheel chair too.

I'm not sure how well you'd get on with the bikes due to the roof being quite low, but if you stick the seat quite far forwards, you can fit a double mattress inside a Volvo 850 (so I'd assume the early V70 too). Comes in at half the budget and quite nice to drive, too.

A friend of mine had a VW Sharan / Ford Galaxy / similar. She could wheel her bike in (fully built) and sleep next to it. As a bargain bike-carrying proposition I doubt it gets better than that.

The LWB Transit connects are possibly the smallest van that allow you to do it (the passenger seat hinges up out the way)

Personally I'd go for a T4 Transporter - reliable, good image and zero depreciation BUT not the best mpg

MPVs are the other option but their security is compromised by all the glass
