The Appeal
Boasting the character of a family-led Grand Tourer - complete with all of the comforts - the T6 was the flagship of Volvo's much-celebrated V70 Estate car. It's a real do-anything Estate, with performance, class and comfort at its core. Needless to say, it's quite the prospect, and still very solidly built as you'd expect from the legendary Scandi marque.
This particular 2010 example is a rare, top-of-the-line R-Design car. Recently benefiting from significant mechanical investment totalling nearly £5,000, and imported from the salt-free roads of Japan, this all-wheel-drive estate offers the rare combination of practical family transport, all-weather capability, and impressive performance from its 3.0-litre turbocharged engine.
It's accompanied by a mileage guarantee from its home country, a long MOT, and a cache of paperwork, too.
