Default Volvo V70 2005 D5 - For Sale - Soon

Just putting this out there as a car that will be for sale in the next 2 - 4 weeks - once I have put 12 months MOT on it & had an oil service completed for the next owner.

2005 V70 Facelift 163BHP with 251K miles. I have owned the car for 14 months and in that time carried out around 7K trouble free miles.

In that time I have had full oil service / fuel filter / rear brake pads / discs. Also within the last 5K miles 4 X Goodyear Vector Gen2 All Season Tyres. Also within the last 3 months brand new starter motor / serpentine belt / pulley.

I bought the car from the second owner who had owned it for 13 years. He spent that time doing a 100 mile commute round trip down the motorway each work day. Fastidious service history, including 2 gearbox oil changes (last at around 200K). Cambelt still has 40K / 4 years since last change.

It is factory standard other than a detachable tow bar and twin electrics which the previous owner installed for dump trip runs. And a GROM unit / hands free kit.

it does not drive like anything like the mileage indicated and everything is working other than the headlight washers (never been bothered to investigate).

This is a car that you just start and drive. Anywhere. Like I have done, in the time owned, without hesitation. The car does not burn oil or lose water. The gearbox is silky smooth after 10 or 510 miles (it has had 2 gearbox changes in its life, last at around 200K)

I'm looking for around £2K

Please get in touch if interested.

A friend of mine is looking for one of these I can't PM you as despite being a member for years I've never had much to contribute! Not sure if you can PM me though. Please get in touch if possible.

Many thanks to those who have enquired - yes the car is still for sale, it hasnt really started yet owing to delay in getting the work done.

The MOT is booked in for 15/2. I also have it booked in for an oil /fuel/ air filter service at Nomansland Garage (Volvo Inde New Forest, who fitted the starter motor / aux belt last year) on 2/3.

Only had one or two days of snow this year so far, and the car went perfectly on the Goodyears (we live in the sticks - no gritters etc). Not a major surprise as I had them on my previous V70 D5 with 620K miles and bigger snow back then.

Will update the listing once the work has been completed.

Stay safe & well, many thanks, Mark

I am going to keep it - only had it 15 months!

The MOT tester suggested that it would be a mistake to sell it also.

Many thanks for the enquiries of interest.

The gearbox oil should be changed every 30-40k ish, so would strongly suggest changing it again asap.

From what you've written, it seems like a smart idea. Whilst they need maintaining, I'm in awe of how well built these cars are.

Mine's at 150k. I have very intention of doubling that and more.

Back for sale - the wife & I are having a consolidation of cars.

Car has just been MOT'd - and just had the oil / air / fuel filter service as suggested earlier post.

Just Friday took it for a 250 mile round trip to Nuneaton - didnt miss a beat.

Get in touch if of interest.

2k???

Strong money for that mileage

Before you say

I’ve a 230k mint V70 D5 sport with 230k manual euro 3 2004

Full service history

New turbo

Clutch and flywheel

XC90 brakes all round

18” genuine pegs

V70R bumper

Circa £1250 is more realistic

All about perspective.

Good luck with the sale of yours for 1250 was it?

My last V70 sold with 621K miles on it for £750 3 years ago. Still see it around.

Like mine it had been looked after - no new turbo required, etc as you state.

There is junk out there & there are those that have been looked after.

621k is very respectable indeed isn’t it!

Could I ask what maintenance you do outside of usual schedules to get to that milage? Was that on the original engine, gearbox etc or how many replacements did you have?
