1. Volvo V40 (with Safety Pack)

The standard Volvo V40 already features in this list, as you'll already have seen. But when fitted with the optional safety package that's available, it catapults up to the top of the table. That's because you get a suite of extra safety kit that genuinely makes a difference to your chances of avoiding a crash, so safety is a priority, and you can find a V40 so-equipped, it's worth snapping up.

We found: 2014 D3 SE Lux Nav, 25,500 miles, £13,490
