V50 1.6D - What to look for?
Discussion
Looking for a reliable small estate that won't cost the earth to run and maintain and quite like the look of the V50. Doesn't need to be fast and the low road tax is an incentive for them.
Had a couple of V70's in the past and an XC90 but don't know a huge amount about the V50 - looking at around £4k so probably a 2010-2012 model with ideally less than 100k miles - anything in particular i should look out for? I googled cambelt intervals and they suggest either 10 or 15 years or around 100k - so would prefer to find one with this already done
TIA

Thanks both - thats really helpful - i've seen a couple of 2010 cars that have slightly higher tax at £35/yr rather than £20/yr so guessing that is the reason.
Hadn't realised that the audio couldn't be upgraded - will make sure to check that out as that could be painful on longer journeys.
