Vehicle Description

An excellent condition 2005 S60 D5 SE Geartronic with just over 68,000 miles, one owner and a full Volvo main dealer service history in Barents blue pearl metallic. The comprehensive SE  specification includes climate control, 9-speaker 6xCD Dolby ProLogic II 4x50w sound system, trip computer, information centre, power windows and mirrors, full leather trim, electric seat with memory, cruise control, auto wipers, auto dip mirror, 17" alloys Dynamic Stability Control, ABS+EBD, SIPS, WHIPS and front fog lights to name but a few features.

 

This is a 2005 model year facelifted example which, amongst other things, benefited from different bumpers and clear light lenses, upgraded interior materials, flat blade wipers, upgraded audio systems and revised centre console with even more cupholders.

 

This example also has the winter pack (heated front seats, headlamp wash & carpet mats) and the walnut wood inserts. The interior is in oak leather.

 

Volvo's 5-cylinder D5 engine produces 163bhp and a massive 340Nm of torque whilst still returning over 45mpg 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. As fitted to the S60, the official EU combined figure is 45mpg, with reasonably gentle use in our experience 50mpg is easily attainable in mixed driving and on the motorway 55-60mpg should be expected.

 

Condition wise this is an excellent example which we find hard to find any fault with at all. Inevitably there may be the odd tiny mark here and there but really nothing in particular to mention apart from a very tiny mark (about 2cm) on the passenger rear door. We have tried to photograph this but it is too small to show. Other than that we really can't find a blemish on it.

 

The interior is excellent and doesn't look or feel really any different to a new one. All equipment works perfectly.

 

As always seems to be the case with used S60's it drives pretty much the same as a brand new one.

 

Tyres/Wheels

The 17" alloy wheels are in good condition with just some odd kerb marks (particularly on one front wheel) - please see the pictures for details. The tyres are good all round with 4mm of tread remaining on each rear tyre and those on the front being almost new with 7-8mm.
