The VOLVO V70 (2013-17) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 D4 DPF SS 163 EU5 BUSINESS EDITION GTRON AUTO6 is a large, five-door estate, offering a practical alternative to an SUV or executive saloon. Its diesel engine and automatic gearbox make it suited to long journeys, while the roomy cabin and generous luggage space give it strong family and workday appeal. In mycarcheck.com’s small sample of two checks, both involving different VINs, the average recorded mileage was 143,000 miles and average annual use was 5,000 miles. The observed cars had two previous keepers on average, and an average private-sale valuation of £5,300. These figures describe those checks only, not every V70 or a current quote. Against alternatives such as the BMW 5 Series Touring and Audi A6 Avant, the V70 is appealing for comfort, space and an understated, sturdy feel. It suits families, frequent commuters and anyone needing a dependable-feeling estate for everyday duties.
