Lots Of Trouble, Usually Skoda
/yes, that's the 20 year old plastic shed built by turkey farmers jump starting the 3 y/o skoda with a 3 month old engine. Yes, it needed a replacement engine. And lots of other bits. Yes, I know everyone else swears by them. Unfortunately we're more often swearing at it. Not that I'm bitter in any way

Massively higher and more so because they have no financial interest in it.

I mean the multipla was IMO the ugliest car Fiat made,

You said that once you pass the test, the school run will drop from 60 miles a day to 30. The clear implication is that you'll be driving 30 miles a day.
The UK school year appears to have 190 teaching days which suggests you'll be driving a minimum of 5700 miles a year, probably more as it's doubtful you'll be using the car solely for the school run.
While the car is parked at the school neither of your parents will be able to use it. It very much looks like you'll be the main driver whether your parents like it or not.
