A 2017 model will have the newer Volvo VEA 4 cylinder 2.0L D3 engine rather than the old 5 cylinder motor. The newer engine has lower emissions and I think zero road tax.
I would look for a car with a full Volvo service history, there is a specific oil made by Castrol and others for these engines and if there are any problems in future you are more likely to get a good will gesture from Volvo if the car has been dealer serviced.
A 2017 will be a facelift car and will have the Thors hammer led day running lights in the headlamp and different radiator grille and from what I have read the later cars don't seem to have the problem with the rear door locks.
