The only heavy thing going into the back is my drums and people. So Nivomats are not worth it.
Basically I'm looking for a roomy estate car around the 100k miles, ideally 2010 or newer, manual/auto, not a huge engine, decent history. I've been looking/test driving Passat's and they're the only thing that seems to be ticking the boxes so far for my 5k top budget.

Understandable. Volvo's are pricey, but they're more comfortable than a Passat in my opinion. Not that there's anything wrong with a Passat, but it can't match Volvo comfort. In saying that, the Passat will be better on fuel (they're four cylinder engines) and the boot is slightly larger.
Skoda Superb might also be another option for you. The boot is huge in one of those. Far bigger than the Passat or Volvo, but again, not as comfortable.
