The VOLVO V60 (2010-13) 5DR ESTATE 1.6 D2 DPF SS 115 EU5 R DESIGN LUX NAV PWRSHIFT AUTO6 is a compact premium estate: roomier and more practical than a hatchback, but easier to manage than a large family wagon. It brings Volvo’s understated Scandinavian style to the used-car market, with sporty R-Design touches. It suits families needing useful boot space, couples who travel, and commuters wanting a comfortable automatic for longer journeys. The 1.6-litre diesel is designed to balance relaxed everyday driving with economy, while the navigation and higher-spec R-Design Lux trim add convenience and a more distinctive feel. It competes with premium estates such as the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant. mycarcheck.com has recorded 17 checks across six VINs, a limited sample; those vehicles averaged 136,000 miles, 9,000 miles yearly and four keepers.
