And won't you currently struggle to sell a Volvo with a VEA engine?

I thought the D5 had a different engine?

I think you are on safe ground part exing because there is an expectation that the dealer you are selling the car to should be aware of outstanding recalls on the vehicles they are purchasing. However, selling the car privately is a completely different kettle of fish. What happens if I sell my car next week without informing the buyer of the recall and it then catches fire whilst being driven by the new owner and the fire spreads to other vehicles or a building, or god forbid causes injury to someone. I could be accused of selling a vehicle that is known to pose a fire risk to an unsuspecting buyer - far fetched maybe, but not outside the realms of possibility and very messy legally if it ever came to pass This whole situation is pretty awful and my unhappiness will be evident to my local dealer when I take my car in for its service in a couple of weeks.

D4 and D5 are engine power ratings. The current D5 is a VEA.

Not good enough. £4,700 plus my V60 to get a Mazda 1 year newer.

Also if selling something and it is not as described, ie a known fault and you omit to mention it the buyer can claim their money back. Given the record held by Volvo with my car going in for this fault it would be pretty easy to prove I sold it with a known issue and kept quiet. It's different if you point it out and they agree or negotiate a reduction because of an issue.

TBH I'm just really fed up and want it fixed. I'm not as keen on any of the other cars I have looked at as my V60

And none of the issues of the VEA engines. I think I waited 6 months for mine to pop up, and it is grand. My long term average is 47mpg, consisting of a daily commute of 7-8 miles each way at most getting to 50mph, but a 400 mile round trip every 4-8 weeks. I'm quietly smug and very relieved I didn't end up with a VEA car. Have to say the V40 underwhelmed me too when I test drove a T4. Do you need an estate? How about an S60?

The estate is handy for taking the border collie out in
