- ✓Diesel V60s need evidence of proper EGR and DPF care, because town-driven cars quickly turn into warning-light estates.
- ✓Powershift examples only make sense with documented fluid servicing and a convincing slow-speed road test.
- ✓Check the tailgate lock, wiring and any powered tailgate operation carefully, because estate convenience features often fail with age.
