Description:

2002 Volvo V70 SE D5 Diesel Estate Manual.

£650ono or SWAP?

236000 Miles

6 months MOT

Spec:
•2.4L 5 cylinder D5 Diesel engine,
•163bhp (approx 170 with large uprated intercooler and air filter),
•45 mpg round town/ approx 60mpg on a motorway run,
•17" Alloy wheels,
•Power steering,
•Remote central locking,
•Electric windows,
•Metallic black paint,
•Leather seats,
•Climate control,
•Air Con,
•Split fold rear seats,
•Large luggage area,
•Load cover,
•Under floor storage,
•4 CD in dash changer stereo with LOTS of speakers,
•Cruise control,
•Front fog lights,
•3x3 point rear seat belts,
•ABS brakes,
•Alarm/immobiliser,
•Driver, passenger and side airbags,
•Roof rails.

New parts:
•New front suspension wishbones and bushes recently fitted.
•4 nearly new Nankang NS2R high performance tyres recently fitted (almost £400 worth!).

Obviously for a car of its age there are some not so good points but nothing that prevents the good daily use of the car.

•Age related scratches and dents on body,
•Dash display (not speedo and rev counter) sometimes throws a wobbly (common fault with a chip in the module),
•Splutters a bit when under 1/4 tank of fuel (over that it's faultless),
•Drivers seat bolster stitching split,
•Interior isn't mint but tidy enough,
•Drivers electric window sometimes pops off runners,
•Drivers door central locking playing up (module in door needs replacing),
•Wing mirror cover missing (electric mirror works fine),
•Not much history with the car but I bought it on its own merits and have serviced it myself.
•Slight occasional bit of clutch slip only when engine loaded up in a high gear. Noticed since power increase with mods. Not noticeable under normal driving.
•236000 miles seems highish mileage to most people however these engines are good for over half a million miles with ease. Volvo build them to last.

It's not a pristine car and could do with attention to a few bits, hence I’m selling as spares or repairs, but is a perfectly useable, respectable, comfortable, fast and economical people mover and/or workhorse with 6 months MOT.

Will consider any SWAPS as long as it has a decent MOT and not French.

Thanks. :)
