Hello,
I have up to £10k to spend on a car.
Must be under 3years old
Requirements 3seats in back
5doors
Hatchback not estate possible mpv just not too long as parking tight
Decent sized boot for Phil and teds and baby and toddler crap
Diesel

I think I may have ruled out the scenic and Picasso which were on the shortlist. Scenic was my fave but reading lots of negative reviews. I sort of liked the vauxhall zafira but think middle seat is too small? I didn't like the ford c-max.

Trying a Nissan c-note today. What else should I try?

Scenic good except for £££ to fix anything

Zafira not a full seat in the middle.

Japanese cars usually have a good reputation, our other car is Toyota and very reliable. Don't know what they have in your size range though.

Ford C-max. We love ours, have three kid seats across the back and plenty of boot space (we have a phil&teds).

Also my friend loves her Picasso, it has the biggest three seats in the back for a car in that niche (as in you can put any three kids seats in the back, not just the right combination of the right seats), but my mum has read terrible reviews of the side impact protection and general safety.
