Ford focus Vs Volvo V40 or Other?

[Dr House]

So someone came to look at my mini today and I think it may be sold.

I need a replacement, it needs to fit a pram and a bit of language, ideally not too bad on fuel.

So my thought is a focus 1.5 Ecoboust titanium X or a Volvo T2, T3, D2, D3 is a nice trim level.

Budget is £10k

Any suggestions, sub 50k miles and around 2014 up

Thanks for the advice. I’m going to have to go and take a look. The v40 is very nine inside but the boot is not much good.

I will look at some of the cars suggested in this thread. I may have to go up to a Passat or something like that.

On a side note I also need a pram that will fit in a i8 boot. Going to try the Yogo

What about the BMW 2 active tourer ? Maybe a bit more money but not too fussed

Bought this in the end. Bit poor spec but it will do

I bought a 530d in the end.

56k and 2015 for £14.5k

 

[Dr House]

You paid £1k more than it was advertised for ?

Lol typo. 14.5k. I’m doing 125 miles per day in a i8 so I figured even if I do another 30k miles in this it’s not going to drop much under 10k in the next year or two.

Grrr been such a pain. It’s missed the service in sept 2018. It’s a well priced car but it’s almost 9 months past due so getting my deposit back.

 

[Dr House]

Wow that looks good. But I think the Kay is it’s only 17k miles and part service history. But I will call and see

Tru

To be fair it was a 3 year old 530d M Sport with sensible miles for under 15k, if that's what you want for the money you're not going to find a minter.

True. Should I let the missing service be a deal breaker?
