V70 P3 2011 D3 purchase advice
Hi guys,
I've recently test driven a nice V70 P3 D3 @140k miles in the plan to buy and was happy with everything except the fact it's just gone through an MOT and has the following advisories: Coil spring corroded Both Rear (5.3.1 (b) (i)) Front Inner Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge Both (5.2.3 (e)) Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) Rear Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) The most alarming is the coils and the inner tyre wear. The tyre wear either suggests there's some toe out/ negative camber or wear in the control arm bushes or all of that? Best case there's some toe out and it can be adjusted out. However, with 140k on the clock, I'm thinking chances are high that bushes are worn. Anyone have experience of when these are likely to go? I know it depends on driving style/roads but it would be nice to get some sort of idea- same goes with the rear coil springs? Thanks in advance! I really want to get this car! But I'm struggling to justify getting something that will need a load of work straight away! |
