This is the third Volvo V70 I have owned over the last 19 years. The level of cabin refinement and in car infotainment is much better than one only a couple of years older. It is a great all round utility car great for moving kids at uni or just a tip run. It is best of all on long journeys. The seats are so comfortable and can be heated you arrive in good order. I love them and this one is the best yet. This is the 2.4 D5 model which is much better than some of the later 2.0 models. These are known to go on for more than 200000 miles without too many quibbles. I have owned manual gearbox and auto models. If you have ever driven an auto you will not regret it. On the down side, mileage around urban areas is heavy. The car benefits from longer runs as it helps keep the dpf clear. It is simply a pleasure to drive.

The car has been well maintained considering age and mileage but it is over priced for me

Common. Faults Leaking windscreen Power steering pumps fail. Around 120k Trailing arm bushs Dpf fail around 120k. Swirl flaps fail around 120k. Lovely motor way cruiser Amazing seats. Future classic. .

A very complicated car that when running well is superb, but repairs can be expensive. I have a 2006 v70 d5, I love the way it looks and drives, a proper workhorse, its comfortable, quick and returns a decent MPG when driven mildly.

Excellent Model and built to the usual standards expected from Volvo.
