I finally regained my licence after having to surrender it last Feb on medical grounds.
I need to replace my Volvo V50 with something cheaper to run/tax/insure.
After much research I’ve settled on looking for a Volvo V40 D3 or D4.
£0 car tax
Claimed 64 mpg urban, 74 combined, 80 motorway.
I prefer this to any of the other options as they all seem to be petrol which all tend to be small turbo charged engines which don’t last as well.
My budget is £5-7k could be stretched a little but I’d rather not.
Anyone with any knowledge of V40’s or have another suggestion?
