Best budget 7 seaters?

The used Captiva does appear to be great value, but their shaky reputation for reliability would lead me to consider other options. The Territory would be a better bet, but they are known to have electrical and front suspension issues in the long-term.  If you're after an SUV, a seven-seat 2006-12 Mitsubishi Outlander is smart buying at the moment, but if you're just after the seven seats, I highly recommend taking a look at a 2008-13 Kia Rondo. These represent excellent value at the moment. Hope that helps, and keep us posted with your progress.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2008: How often should the brakes be changed?

Not really. The brakes should have been inspected during the services, but the wear rate on Japanese cars in general, and Mitsubishis in particular, is lower than you would expect on European cars, for instance. I would expect you should get 80,000 km or so out of yours before they need replacing.

About the only thing the ZG Outlander shared with its predecessor was its name, which was probably a pretty good thing.
