Highlights
- Former police vehicle maintained to high standards
- High specification Inscription model with AWD and 232 bhp
- MOT valid to March 2026
The Appeal
The immense popularity of SUVs has driven the estate car to near extinction. It's a great shame, as estates are by far the most versatile and practical everyday car that money can buy,
The V90 is Volvo's flagship estate, combining the Swedish marque's renowned safety credentials, strong build quality, and long-distance comfort in a refined, practical package. The Inscription trim adds a premium specification level, whilst the D5 PowerPulse engine with AWD provides strong performance and all-weather capability.

The Inscription trim adds a premium specification level, whilst the D5 PowerPulse engine with AWD provides strong performance and all-weather capability.
This 2018 example comes with the reassurance of a former police service, which typically means adherence to strict maintenance schedules and proactive servicing throughout its working life. The vendor informs us that it has been maintained to a high standard and drives very well. Finished in high specification with features including full lock steering, this V90 presents an opportunity to acquire a well-engineered and dependable estate car.
The vendor reports that the car is in very good overall condition, requires no work, and that all components are working well. With a valid MOT until March 2026 (with just one advisory) and a recently fitted new battery, this V90 appears ready for immediate use. For those seeking a practical, comfortable, and well-maintained estate with plenty of life remaining, this former police vehicle warrants serious consideration.
