The VOLVO S60 (2000-09) 4DR SALOON 2.4 D5 163 S is a roomy, five-seat executive saloon, offering a comfortable, substantial alternative to family hatchbacks. In the UK used-car market, it is an older premium choice for buyers, with understated styling and a reputation for safety and comfort on long journeys. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 251 checks covering 95 distinct VINs, a useful sample of interest in this model. The checked cars average 161,000 miles, around 7,000 miles a year, and just over four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £300, so condition, history and current market prices deserve careful checking. Its five-cylinder D5 diesel gives relaxed, strong-feeling performance and suits commuters, couples or families who want a comfortable motorway car with a generous boot. Compared with BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 saloons, the S60 is less sporty, but stands out for its supportive seats, calm ride and understated character.
