1997 Volvo V70 2.5 Litre Estate
5 Speed Automatic
Legendary 5 Cylinder Petrol Engine
180k Miles
Metallic Green with Grey Heated Cloth Interior
12 Months MOT until 30th October 2020 Here is another reliable old workhorse. Bought for the usual duties. Bought cheap, used for what I needed it for, selling cheap. Spec includes: Switchable Sports Auto Gearbox with Winter Mode, Heated Front Seats, Sunroof, Electric Windows x 4, Power Steering, Premium Audio, CD Multi Changer, Central Locking, Alarm, Immobiliser, 15" Alloy Wheels, Front Fog Lamps, Rear Roof Spoiler.100% reliable - starts first time. No leaks. No overheating. Done a few hundred miles over the past two days and not missed a beat. Gearbox changes gear as it should, with no hunting or strange noises. Brakes are fine with no shuddering. ABS and Traction lights are intermittently on, and came on last when I went over a pot hole, so seems like a faulty or loose sensor. The car brakes as it should. Suspension all seems tight and solid. The car drives really well, pulls strong and hard in every gear. There is a slight blow on the exhaust (advisory on last MOT), but it kind of sounds nice coupled with the 5 cylinder burble! Yes the MOT is short - that's why it is co cheap. However, it had over £750 spent at the last MOT, with a lot of major issues addressed: New Rear Discs, Pads, Hand Brake Shoes, New Wipers, New Tyres, New Suspension Arm, New Tie Rod End. Last Full Service in October 2018 - Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Cabin Filter, Spark Plugs x 5Mechanically appears to be very well-looked after. Service booklet has 13 service stamps. Let's be clear - this is an old workhorse and will never be your pride and joy or win you any car show awards. It will, however, happily sit at 3-figure speeds for hours on end carrying everything you throw at it. There is a dent on OSR door. Scrapes on the bumpers. Usual battle scars as to be expected. Scrapes, marks and blemishes on quite a few of the other panels. Still looks ok from a distance and has that classic Volvo solid image. No noticeable rust or rot and seems solid underneath. OSF fog lamp is cracked. The interior is solid, but the front seats have wear. The cloth would benefit from a deep clean if you want it better, I would leave as is, due to using it being a work tool. Rear tail gate needs a stick to hold it open (generously included in sale). Heated seats work very well and being to burn your a55 after a while! Rear view mirror has fallen off. Comes with: 2 x Keys, Volvo V70 User Manual, Service Booklet, V5 Logbook. Currently MOT's and Tased, so you can drive it own (with your own insurance). These are becoming pretty sought after these days - they are a no-nonsense car that perform well and have a cavernous carrying capacity. Still has a quarter tank of fuel, but the car is being used daily - so the quicker you get it, the more fuel it comes with... Located in Shinfield, Berkshire, RG2 post code. Please call me on 07984 395400.

I do wish you would sod off with these tempting Swedish bricks.
My 05 d5 has just driven away with the new owner, I’m already on the hunt for another V, seeing a t5 at weekend, if it’s no good may have to come to Berkshire

Drop to £550 if collected by end of today.
Going on Flea Bay this evening. Rather it sold with the current Tax and MOT, so new owner can drive it away...

I have bitten the bullet and put this through an MOT. People are always reluctant to buy a car which needs to be MOT'd, not knowing what it could need to get through one.
It now comes with a full 12 Month MOT. A few advisories, but nothing serious and ready for at least another year's use.
Price is £850, which I think is reasonable for a functioning and reliable V70 with a year's ticket. These things are only going up in price and are pretty sought after.
If it isn't for you then no probs, there are others for sale that might be of interest.

Fantastic all round practicality and a bargain. They do not make cars of this quality any more.I own a manual version of this model and will never sell it simply because they do not make a suitable replacement. I recently had a V8 chevy engine in the back of mine !Not many cars would cope with that !Amazed this has not sold.

Totally agree -they are great quality, no-nonsense motors which do all that is required of them. It has sold twice - both times the winning bidder not making contact - typical eBay ar5eholes! No on for the last time before Xmas, £550 with no reserve. Owes me a fair bit more, but I don't need it and what I do need it the space, so it has to go!
