Classic Volvo V70 XT estate - 1999 'V' Plate - now with photos

[gin-fizz-whizz]

My trusty Volvo V70 is up for sale. I bought it in 2018 from close friend who owned it from 2002; it was his company car from new.

2.4, 5 cylinder petrol, 140bhp, 5 speed manual.  This is the 'de-tuned' version of the B5244S2 engine that has lower down torque (220 NM at 3750) so it pulls really well.

Midnight Blue with black leather interior.

MOT until 19th May 2024.

Known & documented history.

Well maintained, 176,500 miles.

Michelin CrossClimate tyres (fronts new, rears 6mm).

Recent battery & exhaust system (balance of 3 year warranty).

Excellent family car & superb workhorse.

Specification includes:

 ·   Full leather interior

·    Central locking

·    Electric windows

·    Power steering

·    Dual zone climate control

·    ABS

·    Alloy wheels

·    CD & tape(!) 8 speaker audio system

·    Dual front and side airbags

·    60/40 split rear seat

·    Built-in Volvo central booster seat

 

Bullet proof construction with legendary practicality.  All it never had is a tow bar, but one could be retrofitted.

Averages 35 mpg with mid-40's mpg on longer runs.

2 sets of keys with remote fob plus a Service key

 

Good points:  See above.

 

Bad points:  Almost 25 years of use means it's somewhat past it's prime in the looks department. It is however clean and tidy and very comfortable.

The front electric windows are wired back-to-front (driver's side switch from a LHD car)

The tailgate central locking sometimes dead-locks and needs an extra 'blip' on the remote to open

Driver’s seat base stitching is partially undone on one section.  I have a seat cover and it's fine.

The alloys are a bit tatty where the lacquer has seen better days.

Some of the clearcoat lacquer on the paintwork is lifting.

There's a superficial dent in the front o/s wing.

 

Reason for sale:  Not ULEZ (London) compliant 

£1500 ono.

Located in RH15 (West Sussex)
