Purchased to carry out high speed tip runs and generally move things around whilst I renovate a new house. It has performed admirably, covering about 1000 miles in 10 weeks or so. It failed it's MOT on Monday and would probably suit someone handy as a fixer-upper. Failing that it will become a banger racer/scapper.....a shame as these are becoming quite rare and are a hoot to drive.
Model: Volvo 850 T5 GLT manual estate (red)
Year: 1996
Mileage: 169k
Tax: None (will be cashed in unless you want to buy it)
MOT: None - just failed
Pics: yes, please see below
Location: South Birmingham, 5mins from J2, M42 and J4, M5
Price: £350
Loads of history including recon turbo at 132458, timing belt kit at 142789 as well as dealer and stamped service book to 60k etc.
Solid body, small patch of lacquer peel on bonnet edge, one small piece of trim missing, some slightly loose.
Interior needs a good clean, half leather with drivers bolster still intact.
Excellent Volvo stereo.
Heated front seats.
Central locking.
Electric windows all round and mirrors.
2 keys.
Ice cold air con (regassed this summer).
Rear load cover.
Front tyres getting low but not an advisory.
Clutch squeaks a little if letting out slowly in 1st.
Plenty of power, engine and box seem good, no mayo.
Tow bar and electrics.
MOT items seem to be quite straightforward - see pics (new rear ABS sensors were fitted 3 years ago - common issue on forum)
Idles too high (creeps to 1500rpm) to complete emissions test, passed first part though!
I don't have the time to do this so it could be a nice little project for someone!
