Pity Volvo don't do commercials. I would replace the transit at the drop of a hat.

I wanted something safe for the kids and needed a good motorway cruiser three years ago.
I opted for a volvo as id owned one and my father had/ still has an 850 t5 estate so knew the good build quality/reliability as well.

I was going to spend quite a few grand but saw this one from a trusted local mechanic/dealer and for £750 I thought it would tide me over. It has for three years not missed a beat
