Get my drift?!
I believe the VIN shows what engine is fitted.

Thanks Tommyweave! Yeah - I was grabbing at straws on the “D” front really, as I’m more used to the 1980s B series red block engines tbh! Lol!
Seller states vehicle as VOLVO XC70 2.0 D DRIVE SE LUX 5d 175 BHP. Which is neither 136 nor 163 nor 181 bhp. Confused dot com!
Internet check seems to confirm this also (ie it’s a 2 litre).
I’m looking at the car Thursday, so will suss out from logbook or VIN plate then.
Have you u had any experience with the Drive-E variants? It deffo has DrivE on the back…and it deffo doesn’t appear as the 1.6L engine.
