Dug out the V5C which does confirm it's down as Estate.

I think Total Car Check might not be accurate - that also shows it Euro 3, I thought it's Euro 4 being a facelift 2.5T?

A little internet sleuthing has interesting results. After using Google images to find a few "test" cars, it seems many/most S60s on a 54-plate have Estate as their body style at the DVLA. 04 and 05 both come up as 4 Door Saloon, in all the examples I've tried.

So maybe a type approval mess-up for the first facelifts; looks like there's loads of these "S60 estates" around anyway
