Buying a used estate car - what would you recommend?
We are about to downsize from our Volvo V70 and the V50 seems a logical answer but we would appreciate your advice as to what else to consider.
It must be automatic, petrol due to a relatively low mileage (10K p.a.) and have a good safety rating. Our budget is around £15,000.
