 Vehicle Description

An excellent condition 2005 model year V70 D5 SE with just over 87,000 miles in Ash Gold pearl metallic. The V70 is, in our view, a fabulous car to the extent that we run V70 D5's as our own cars and this is one is any many ways the ultimate V70 model combining the economy and performance of the D5 engine with the most of the performance of a petrol turbo version.

 

The comprehensive SE specification includes full leather trim, power seats, cruise control, climate control, auto-dipping mirror, electric windows, trip computer, electric folding mirrors, CD multichanger, Dolby Pro-Logic 9-speaker stereo, 17" alloys, rain sensor, the fabulous 9 speaker stereo system & full stability control. This example also has the winter pack which adds heated front seats, carpet mats and headlamp wash.

 

The interior is presented in oak leather with the (£500 option) walnut wood trim inlays.

 

Volvo's 5-cylinder D5 engine produces 163bhp and a massive 340Nm of torque whilst still returning over 40mpg on the combined cycle and in our opinion offers pretty much all the performance you could ever ask for and generally feels faster than the petrol turbo versions in day to day driving whilst being vastly more economical.

 

The overall exterior condition of the car is excellent and well above the norm for a 87k example to the degree that we can't find anything to mention or photograph at all. Inevitably on an 80k mileage car you will find the odd mark or stone chip somewhere but we wouldn't hesitate to describe it as one of the best 50k+ mileage examples we've seen this year.

 

The interior is similarly excellent  - like all V70's it shows very little wear or use and could pass for an almost new car.

 

 

Wheels

The wheels have a below average number kerb marks - there are a couple but overall we would describe the wheels as being in very good condition for the mileage (please enlarge the photos below). The tyres are all in good condition with 4-5mm of tread.
