Used 7 Seater Cars for Sale

7 Seater Cars

Today’s 7-seaters are far more than just practical workhorses designed with only spaciousness in mind. Now, these models can be stylish, well-built SUVs with a range of luxurious touches to improve day-to-day driving. Buying a used 7-seater is a great way of avoiding the high prices that many new models suffer from. At the end of the day, if you want a no-nonsense people carrier that is strictly not a van or an MPV, you will be more than happy with a 7-seater.

7 Seater buying guide

As a 7-seater will have likely been bought as a family car – and will have had quite a tough life – the main thing to look out for are signs of any interior damage. Look out for any scuffed or missing trim and be sure to check that all the seats slide and fold as they should be.

If a model has any special tech fitted (such as rear media screens on the back of the seats), you should check if these work too. Also be sure to look out for any signs of parking damage where doors have been opened on to another car as this is quite common with this type of vehicle. Plus, you should also check for the usuals, such as the interior quality, tyre condition, engine and gearbox performance and if the 7-seater has a good MOT history backed by a dealer service history.

The other thing to consider is whether you actually need a 7-seater. The allure of these cars’ greater practicality is tempting, but if you’re only likely to use the third row of seats occasionally, you might be better off with a conventional 5-seat SUV or perhaps an estate.
