Reason for sale:
The car has required a lot of work in the last 4 months and has now developed an intermittent misfire, as well as being due it's MOT. I have booked the car for it's MOT and depending on the cost, I hope to sell the car with a fresh ticket. I will update the advert whatever the result. I have attempted to diagnose the misfire which seems to occur under load, and around once a fortnight it can cut out, however this seems to happen when the fuel level is low, and once restarted, the car runs well.

When starting the car from cold, the engine misfires for around 10 seconds and puffs of blue smoke are emitted from the exhaust, however the car has never failed to start, and after 10 seconds it runs smoke-free throughout the day.

Other things worth mentioning are the tailgate gas struts which have failed (around £25 per side) and there is an oil leak by the vacuum pump.

Taking all this into consideration, I have reluctantly decided to part ways with the car and bought something much smaller and less advanced.

With a new MOT I would like to offer the car to a fellow enthusiast for £900 or nearest offer.

Quick update, MOT has been booked for 12th April and current mileage is now 211,000

Looks nice that does, I'll keep an eye on how it does in the MOT, quite tempted

Cheers

Update on MOT, the car passed with an advisory on the aforementioned oil leak and a rear tyre which I will replace with a spare I have in the garage. I will spend this weekend emptying all my stuff out and giving it a good clean, the car will then be parked up and not used, the current mileage is around 211,300.

Another update, my replacement car has been delayed so I have resumed using the V70 until the start of May, I will update the mileage once I know the car is ready to be sold.

Unfortunately I have waited for two VOC members to collect, only for neither of them to ever turn up. I will advertise the car elsewhere when I am ready to sell and update the advert if the car sells.
