I sold my V40 1.9D Sport back in May at 250,000 having put 70,000 on it in just over 4 years.
Due to my Scouting & Duke of Edinburgh i often went down farm roads, tracks and campsites and even being the sport it never really grounded badly, yes the odd scrape but mainly the front splitter.
I only got it stuck once and that was half a mile from home parking on a grass verge and dropped the front wheel into a hole.
It seemed to be more robust than my current V50.
I would try and find a good 115hp diesel with leather and xenon lights and you won't go far wrong.
Alternatively if budget stretches you could go for a XC70
