S60 - thinking about a 2.5T petrol / auto

[Matt UK]

Hi, not visited here before, so good evening all.

I'm seriously considering an S60 2.5T auto as the ideal car against my criteria:
Spend about £5k or less
It'll do 25k miles a year
I want a petrol engine
It needs to be reliable between services - bills I'll handle up to a point, unplanned stoppages will mean an early bath
I need about 26mpg to make the spreadsheet work
My commute is long and on the motorway - this car will be used to pick up the odd client from the the train station, but will not go shopping, to the tip or to B&Q
I need to get in it at 6am, start it up and think; 'nice'

I have a toy for crazy days and the wife has an MPV for practical family stuff

There are a few contenders out there, but a Volvo is on the cards.

Any owners here who could direct me where I head to get some info?
Where are the problem areas on these?
What are the specs /options / engines to seek out or avoid?

Cheers,
Matt

You could even have a t5 and that would tick all the boxs
