@ CM
I dont have an amazing budget, around 1k- 1.5k.
Just needs to be pretty reliable, able to hold quite alot of stuff( toyota pickup winning ) and also fit my housemates on it( can they sit in the back?? ).

i doub they will legally be able to sit in the back unless you instal la bench and more importantly seatbelts.
Toyota's are meant to be very reliable. I wouldnt touch the suzuki with a barge pole

My mate has an N reg Toyota Hilux that he uses for his gardening business.
The MPG is in the low 20s Its gutless and it costs him a fortune to get bits and bobs done on it. He's getting rid of it for something like a new crew cab Nissan or Mitsubishi.

His has the 3.5 TD engine.
Last time he mentioned it, he said it does around 90 miles to £20.

Exactly what my mate says about his. Loves it, but it costs him a fortune to run and maintain.

Are you going to start being a tree surgeon and talking with a strange Irish accent?
