The VOLVO V70 (2013-17) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 D3 DPF SS 150 EU6 SE LUX GTRON AUTO6 is a spacious family estate, rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK used-car market, it appeals to buyers wanting an alternative to the BMW 3 Series Touring, Audi A4 Avant and other estates. With generous luggage space, a refined ride and an automatic gearbox, this Volvo suits family holidays, school runs and motorway commuting. Mycarcheck.com recorded 72 checks covering 33 distinct cars. Average mileage was 86,000, with about 7,000 miles driven yearly and just under two previous keepers. Its D3 diesel engine is designed to balance pulling power with sensible fuel use, while the SE Lux trim adds an upmarket feel. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £11,000, though condition and history matter. For buyers seeking comfort, safety-minded design and estate practicality, the V70 remains a reassuring rival to SUVs.
