I had an older Opel version Terence,great height and big side doors,look on Done Deal..the seller often posts a good few interior shots of the car..or be cheeky and visit a dealer and have a look around.. they often have trade ins for sale.Ian.

Best to view up close Terence,as a lot of this type of vehicle has had kids in the back!! Lots of scratches and scrapes etc..The view is excellent from a drivers point of view,is there a Wheelchair association you can contact?.. take care,Ian.

Terence, never apologize as your friends are always here to help and advise you. I'm sorry to learn that your wife needs a wheelchair and it's important that you get the car that's suitable for her. It may be a good idea to contact someone at the Social Services for advice. I think this would be my first option. You can also find a lot of info on the Internet as shown below. I wish you all the best, Terence.

Won't be much mot history for a 3 to 4 year old car but enter a registration here and it will give you an idea of whats been wrong with a car in the past .

Also gives an idea if the mileage is correct .

Get a good'un and a Meriva would be fine .

FiL has a VW, which is OK. But this type of specialised vehicle expensive if you buy from New!

You could get a good second hand one much cheaper. When they were looking I saw a very good Mercedes cheap on ebay.

There are still cheapies on ebay, but use the same caution you would, buying any SH vehicle

one thing about pushin em about, for once you are actually in charge, took her to Eagle centre derby on Thursday, bit worried about wheeling her around shopping centre, actually quite easy once i got the hang of going all the way through the checkout, turning round then pushing her back to pay, makes her feel she is in charge, waiting till April to get bigger car, cant do much with winter weather. be looking for Meriva, Zafira. BMax or some such.

A good friend of mine has a Renault Scenic, and she swears by it. She's really pleased.

I had the mariva I found it a good car but the tax is quite high and appeared to me to have blind spots on the front quarter wndows i found that you had to lean forwards to look right and left the two front bars between the windscreen and the quarter windows hampered the view.
