I just wanted to ask for any general views. I am just about to buy a 2009 V70 2.4d SE. I had a 2004 S60 D5 which has been great but is now end of life!

The V70 has 122k Miles on it, it has a full Volvo service history, 12 months MOT and new timing belt, tensioner and water pump. I am slightly concerned that the mileage is quite high for the age, but I know Volvos can do huge miles if looked after….Should I be worried?

Secondly the MOT advised slight play in both rack ends.. I understand you can buy the rackends separately and replace them fairly easily?… is that right?

I would be grateful for any views from the guys and girls on here who are more knowledgeable than me

Thanks in advance

I would be worried about the water pump , they got rid of a perfectly good volvo water pump and put a cheap non volvo one on I would guess . It will fail prematurely ... Check it out ...
