Best second hand 7-seater cars of 2025

Not much can beat that new car smell, unless it’s new car depreciation. That’s where a great used car makes a lot of sense, pick the right one and you can save a packet. To ensure that your used buy is as enjoyable as a new car, our carwow team has picked some of the best used 7-seater cars currently on the market.

1. Audi Q7

SALE

8/10

Audi Q7 review

Battery range up to 34 miles

The Q7 has a stunning and well-built interior, with plenty of space for your passengers. It isn’t the most exciting to drive, but it feels solid and comfortable on the road. Higher trims have the best safety spec, pricey when new but far more attainable as a used buy.

Used Audi Q7

From £31,489

What's good

Very practical
Six ISOFIX points
Hugely comfortable over bumps

What’s not so good

Fiddly touchscreens
Weak plug-in hybrid offering
Slightly mean safety equipment on basic cars

Used Audi Q7

From £31,489

2. Skoda Kodiaq

9/10

Skoda Kodiaq (2017-2024) review

The Kodiaq is a relatively compact 7-seater which limits the 3rd-row space, but it’s easier to drive around town as a result. The interior looks great, and used models offer great value, especially if you find one with some desirable options.

What's good

Good value for money
Loads of space inside
Smart-looking interior

What’s not so good

Over-the-shoulder blindspots
VW Tiguan has more tech
A little bumpy at low speeds

3. Volvo XC90

7/10

Volvo XC90 review

Battery range up to 28 miles

The XC90 is safe, packed with tech and has a luxurious interior. The engine range is limited compared to some rivals, though. New models can get pricey so look for a well-specced nearly new one instead and enjoy this Scandinavian smoothie without breaking the bank.

Used Volvo XC90

From £21,324

What's good

Lots of space for up to seven
Good boot space even with every seat occupied
Plenty of high-tech safety features

What’s not so good

Doesn’t drive as well as the best big SUVs
There’s more room in the third row of a Defender 130
Only two engine options

Used Volvo XC90

From £21,324

4. Land Rover Discovery

SALE

9/10

Land Rover Discovery review

You’ll want a Discovery if you need to venture further off the beaten path than a muddy parking lot. It’s luxurious, comfortable and has a huge boot, too. It isn’t the best on-road, and the styling is an acquired taste, but that doesn’t dim the Discovery’s impressive abilities as a family-friendly off-road capable SUV.

Used Land Rover Discovery

From £15,494

What's good

Comfortable and quiet
Room for seven adults
Brilliant off-road

What’s not so good

Styling isn't to all tastes
Some rivals are better on-road
Small boot with seven seats in place

Used Land Rover Discovery

From £15,494

5. Mercedes GLB

7/10

Mercedes-Benz GLB review

The GLB seats 7 but it’s not the largest offering in its class so the 3rd-row and boot space are a bit compromised. It offers a relaxing drive and has a luxurious cabin although you should look out for higher spec models as the base trims don’t have much standard kit.

Used Mercedes-Benz GLB

From £22,799

What's good

Boxy styling looks superb
Comfortable to drive
Plush cabin and great infotainment

What’s not so good

Entry-level cars lack kit
Engine choice isn't huge
Alternatives have bigger boots

Used Mercedes-Benz GLB

From £22,799

6. Kia Sorento

SALE

9/10

Kia Sorento review

The Sorento is a solid and spacious 7-seater with plenty of practical features. Hybrids are efficient but can be a bit noisy. New models can get pricey, but a used one is great value and you will still enjoy the remainder of Kia’s class-leading 7-year warranty.

Used Kia Sorento

From £25,400

What's good

Roomy interior
Lots of standard equipment
Diesel still available

What’s not so good

Firm suspension at low speeds
Quite dark inside
Third row best for kids

Used Kia Sorento

From £25,400

7. Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer

8/10

Citroen C4 SpaceTourer review

The SpaceTourer is all about, well, space. It’ll happily swallow 7 occupants and their luggage and it’s one of the coolest looking MPVs around. It’s not the most exciting to drive though, and the infotainment system is fiddly, something you won’t mind when you see the savings to be had on nearly new models.

8. Volkswagen Touran

SALE

7/10

Volkswagen Touran review

Few body styles are as suited to a 7-seat layout as an MPV, and the VW Touran offers plenty of interior space and easy access to the rear seats. Its practicality is matched by a range of efficient engines and low running costs, although it’s not the most stylish vehicle around.

Used Volkswagen Touran

From £6,488

What's good

Spacious for passengers
Good choice of engines
Easy to drive

What’s not so good

Boring looks
Alternatives are cheaper
Sat nav expensive on basic models

Used Volkswagen Touran

From £6,488

9. BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer

7/10

BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer review

This is a quiet and refined family car with decent interior quality and a great infotainment system. The 3rd-row is a bit tight and it’s a bit pricier than some rivals. It becomes a more viable proposition as a used buy, especially with the powerful and efficient diesel engine.

10. Peugeot 5008

9/10

Peugeot 5008 review

The Peugeot 5008 offers some welcome French design flair both inside and out. It is big enough to seat 7 but the boot is a bit small if you have a full complement of passengers. It’s well built and as a used buy you get a healthy discount on its original list price.

Used Peugeot 5008

From £16,500

What's good

Looks great
Plenty of space in all seats
Interior feels well-built

What’s not so good

Not much boot space with all seats up
Steering wheel may block view of dials
Trays in middle row are flimsy

Used Peugeot 5008

From £16,500

Advice about buying used 7-seaters

Used 7-seater cars FAQs

What is the most reliable used 7-seater car?

Customer satisfaction surveys have rated Japanese and German vehicles very highly with the Skoda Kodiaq coming in as one of the most reliable 7-seaters around. Other Volkswagen Group vehicles also scored highly such as the SEAT Tarraco and Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace.

What is the cheapest used 7-seater car?

If we compare used 7-seater cars of similar age, condition and mileage then you will find that the ones that were cheapest to buy new will remain the cheapest as a second-hand purchase. That makes the Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer one of the most affordable used 7-seaters from our list, although the Dacia Jogger is the cheapest new 7-seater in the UK which also makes it the cheapest nearly new 7-seater as well.

What should I look out for when buying a used 7-seater car?

Make sure to do an HPI check to ensure that the car’s history is clean, look out for visual signs of accident damage and have a thorough look inside the car for undue wear and tear. Keep in mind that a few minor blemishes or marks on the paintwork and interior are par for the course on a family car.

A nearly new car should still drive like a brand-new model and there should be no odd noises emanating from the engine bay or suspension on a test drive.

For more advice, check out our guide on what to look for when buying a used car.

Should I buy a new or used 7-seater car?

That depends on your particular needs and budget. A new car has a certain allure to it and comes with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty. You also get to specify the vehicle to your liking but may sometimes have to wait a while for delivery.

A nearly new 7-seater should retain much of that new car magic in its first year or two but often comes at a significant cost saving. Most will still have the remainder of the manufacturer’s warranty and extended warranties can easily be added on if required.

You may have to search a bit to find a model that suits your needs, and it may be a bit harder to find your preferred colour/spec combination. However, many used cars come with optional extras that cost the original owner a pretty penny but don’t materially affect values as a used purchase.
