My 1999 volvo v70 estate that I first drove in 2000 might be about to die with an honorable 200k miles.
I am looking to buy an ultra reliable, 5 to 15 yr old replacement to do the dirty stuff- trips to the tip, wet dog, pulling a trailer once a year. Bags of cement in it. 3rd party insurance. When friends visit from overseas we put them on the insurance. Leave it on the street for a couple of weeks. Wet lawnmowers in the back. Must have good parts availability.
Fuel economy/ ulez/ eco stuff all irrelevant. I usually move pinvalls in my campervan so that is not a factor.
Wondering about Honda/ Toyota type brand. Basic engineering. Nowt high tech. Landcruiser 4x4, or unfashionable Japanese estate car maybe. That sort of thing.
Any suggestions very gratefully received.
thanks
