That really doesn’t sound great Stef.
Makes me think what to do.
As I say we terminated daughters VW transporter last may and have been running a 2011 Mazda 6 estate since. In that period we could have used the actual van maybes twice as a family for days out and 1 of my kids had to jump in a friend’s vehicle who was going with us.
My eldest are 15 and 13 now though so these days are becoming less and less.
Most day trips as a whole family are local enough that possibly can even do 2 runs as well.
Then when I throw in her spines deterioration which she has now lost the ability to walk (she could previously plod holding a hand) but can still weight bare then we may end up back at that situation of needing a wav and just having to manage daughter’s behaviours when travelling before we even see the vivaro.
I might just see what big 5 seat estates are on the scheme and their potential lead times.
If only the Japanese imports weren’t so thirsty as I’d jump at a Toyota alphard welcab in a heartbeat but looking at around 20-22 mpg from the 3.0 V6 petrols.
