It's a good time for 4x4 buyers, who've never had so many cars to choose from, including the recently launched MkII versions of the Land Rover Freelander and Nissan X-Trail. And there are more on the way, such as the VW Tiguan, Audi Q5, Mercedes MLK-Class and BMW X1. Thing is, these medium-sized newcomers are all a little bit pricey.
However, the popularity of 4x4s in recent years means there are plenty of secondhand choices around, many of them at affordable prices. So whether you need a handy trailer tower, practical off-roader or simply something tough and tall for the school run, there's lots of choice. Here's our pick of the best secondhand, new or nearly-new SUVs available at less than £10,000.
