minibus or tourneo

[billhutch]

Hi all ,im New to your forum
Due to us being a family of 6 our current car ( Zafira) isn't big enough,so I'm looking at either a mwb transit minibus or a Tourneo,, around 2003ish,,,
Does anyone know what price the road tax is on either of these please.
Any help and advice would be great ie if any model is better than another
Thanks Bill

Be careful with the Mk6 Minibus, as they can be difficult to insure as a private vehicle I've had a SWB Mk4 and Mk5 minibus insured with the same company for over 10 years, and this year they declined to continue with the insurance

Thanks for the replies,,,, the tourneo always seems a fair bit dearer than a minibus at what I've looked at so far,, just need something reliable, tidy , to use to work every day and double as a family of 6 get away at the weekend tool,,, I'm a bit confused at the model numbers??,, if any can make that a bit clearer thanks,,, I've seen vehicles with big mileage,, 300,000,,, so they can certainly last,,, what are the common faults / maintinance issues I need to aware of,,,dual mass clutch on a 2.0 tdci seem a expensive repair,,
Cheers Bill
