    If you  can fold down the back seats then  look at a Citroen Berlingo.

    A friend carried two Spinones in hers with loads of room.
  • I have a Peugeot 5008, It will handle 3 dogs in the boot and 6 if you put the seats down.
    Like these 2.

    Auto 2011 Grey 92,000 miles. Autotrader

    Manual 2011 Blue 97,000 miles + New cambelt kit fitted Autotrader.

    I have a 2016 5008 Diesel auto.
    Boot is large and with seats down I have moved my full size fruit machine in it.
    Its 5 years old and never had an issue with it.

    Thanks a lot for that but my kids are set on petrol ( they will drive it half of the time ) due to whatever environmental concerns they have ( I dont understand it but thats the way the world is )

    I just bought a 2007 Hyundai Matrix for 2k, it had 57k on the clock.  The rear seats do this double folding and flipping thing which makes a big boot.
