Prices are going silly if you have a low mileage one. This isn’t even a euro 6 version. I’ve no dought someone will buy it but it’s still a 10yr old bus!

Not a chance I'd pay that for a 10 year old Volvo.

Check out the MOT history. Failed a couple, and has been off the road for a couple of years. Not seeing the justification for the premium being asked

I think they're living on another planet with that price to be honest. Its not even a euro 6 as Graham mentioned.

Crazy money for a 10 year old car, even if its only got just shy of 15k on it. I'd be intrigued to see does it sell. I suspect it'll be sat around for a while.

...a while longer

They're really trying it on there Low mileage might look good in an advert and even possibly sound a decent proposition for a slight premium[on any car] however buy such a motor and start using it as intended and all sorts of issues can rear their heads.To me a higher mileage regularly used and properly maintained vehicle is a much better bet.

To say nothing of at least 10 grand cheaper!

Something doesn't add up! A single tyre worn out in 13,000 miles according to the MOT history, and cars literally half this one's age with low mileages and at much less money?

It's either a mistake or the car has a really interesting provenance!

First MOT failure mentions:

Reason(s) for failure

Nearside body has a sharp edge caused by damage n/s side repeater lamp lense cracked (6.1.c.1)

I'd say that it has been in an accident as well...

It was also not MOT'd in 2022 and 2023, so guessing off-road/SORN'd

For the price and colour, wouldn't touch it anyway. My current XC70 cost me £4500 when it was just 6 years old, though obviously less well spec'd and higher mileage

The 5 cylinder diesel engine is capable of extremely high mileage, so the difference between the mileage on this car and that on a good quality full history car is of little consequence. My 2012 XC70 Polestar has done 75K and if someone offered me £10k for it, I'd bite their hand off!
