Photos of the XC70 would be good.
Also:
Has it both sets of keys?
Gears/gear change all smooth?
Any interior cosmetics need to be made aware of?
What’s the status of cambelt change?
I expect it has, but as it full documented history?
Any advisories from last MOT?
Is it the ES, SE, SE Lux or SE Nav version?
Aircon and blowers all work well?
Are you likely to pop it through MOT, or leave to a new owner?
Cheers!

BGT - sorry, just seen this as I didn't get an alert and not been in here for ages!
Answering all your questions...
1. Yes, it has 2 sets of keys
2. Gears are fine, the gear selector is "floppy" as the ball joint has worn. Included is a new selector (£250!) that I never got around to fitting as I just got used to it!
3. No - it has little history. Theres a schedule from the Police showing every 9000 miles it was serviced - whether to schedule or not I don't know. I've serviced it when I've done the MOT as under the 18k intervals.
4. 100k, 10 years. I presume the Police did it at 100k but nothing to indicate. I'm getting old but I *think* I had it done when I got it, just in case. Will try and find out as I certainly can't remember for sure!
5. front tyre tread depths starting to wear low - swapped f/r
front brake pads starting to wear low - replaced these
6. Its Police spec, logged as an SE but based on an ES. I've replaced centre console so that it has cubby and cupholders again!
7. Blowers fine, a/c had the issue where it need shims. Garage says its fixed this but not driven it since.
8. Its SORN'd at an MOT station and its having a front u/j replaced when I tell him I want it back. It'll get a fresh MOT at the same time.
Mileage is just over 180k. I'll get some photos up shortly
