Consider a Zafira or some other people carrier. Short trips in an automatic 4x4 will see horrendous MPG, probably single figures if it’s stop/start around town. I have 2 auto 4x4’s and they’re both very hard on fuel.

We have just got an XC90 for the wife.
High 30s mpg mostly around town. Bit big and cumbersome for doing deliveries I'd have thought.
Citroen synergie or Peugeot equivalent is what you want if yiu couod get one. Massive inside with the seats out

How do you find the XC90? Anything to look out for on them?

A recent timing belt.. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️
Good big wagons, but on the thirsty side, especially nipping about. Although it won't "nip about" because the auto gearbox is a bit sluggish starting off the line. They are heavy, so all suspension components get a hard life, and brakes.

For a 7 seater jeep that still has a boot they're great, for courier type work I would say there are much more suitable vehicles available!

Comfortable, spacious so ideal for wife and kids. Got a full door and single mattress into it for the dump as well with the middle seats down.

Think my lift pump/ transfer pump in the tank is goosed which left the wife stranded when the diesel got too low. We just keep it above a quarter full and haven't had an issue since. *Touch wood*

Engine is a bit agricultural, does decent mpg for it being big heavy 4wd and auto tho.
