Relacing a Volvo V70 - Recommendations?

I need to replace my trusty and faithful, (had it for 12 years) Volvo 2000, V70 2.5D SE with something equivalent - recommendations please. What are your thoughts about current Volvo V70's.Can spend up to £16K.

For a car this size, unless it's a Vauxhall Insignia at a colossal discount, I don't think you'll get a new one for £16k. Used, that leaves a V70, Skoda Superb estate, Volkswagen Passat estate, Ford Mondeo estate, Mazda 6 Skyactiv estate. If you can get a Mazda 6 Skyactiv D 150 SE-L Nav for your budget, that's what I would go for.
