Description
Selling due to space only, This Volvo is a UK Vehicle not a Japanese Import. Showing 7 previous owners on the V5, I purchased the vehicle November 2018 from a customer of mine. I owned a Volvo specialist work shop for many year. And we servicing and maintaining the vehicle before I purchased it. So as you can imagine it’s been well maintained all its life.
It’s just passed its MOT expires 2nd November 2025 with no advisories.
The vehicle’s pre delivery service was carried out at Volvo Car UK Didcot 2004, the next 5 service up to 2009 were carried out but Harratts Volvo Sheffield up to 2009, after this the next 5 services were none Volvo main dealer up to 2014, The vehicle was then purchased buy its previous owner to me who resided in Guildford and carried on servicing the vehicle at Squire Furneaux Volvo main dealer up until 2017. After this my company Carpenters Autos serviced the vehicle until I retired 2022. In 2023 the vehicle was serviced but me.
While I have owned the vehicle it has only ever been fitted with Volvo Parts. And if you know these vehicles a common problem with this age and mileage of Volvo is that the gearbox solenoids start to fail resulting in gear selection banging in to gear.
This vehicle had a new Volvo supplied gearbox fitter over the Easter weekend 2023, as at the time I had no intention of selling it.
It’s running on Pirelli tyre fitted 2023, both rear wheel hubs and bearings including rear suspension bushes. New cat and oxygen sensors. Plus all the usual service items as and when required.
The Flash Green exterior is exceptionally good, as you can see from the pictures, including a new front bumper 2023, again a common fault is that the lower spoiler flexes over time and sags down.
Interior is in very good condition, in Nordkap blue, in my opinion easier to live with than the orange, is full leather, with a top specification, SatNav that pops up out of the dash, Built in Phone, Dolby Pro-logic Multi stacking CD/ Radio. The rear seats have the outer booster seats with built in table and cup holder’s that pop out of the arm rest. Original analogue TV but obviously this doesn’t work now due to no signal available in this day and age. And I have never used the build in phone as that is old school as well.
There is some wear on the outer bolster on the drives seat age related and pictured. the vehicle cost around £42000 new including all the extras fitted.
The number plate V70FUN will be included in the sale, and the vehicle is well known within the Volvo network.
The car is original no conversion or modifications. Probably one of the best examples on the road today.
At an average Milage of just over 5000 miles per year of its life. I still take the vehicle out once a week for a short drive us the mile will change slightly from current mileage.
I have loads of invoices service book and 2 sets of keys.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I have owned many Volvos over the years, from 121 Amazons to modern XC60’s and it’s only due to space that I am selling a couple of them. Being bought up in the motor trade and specialising in the Volvo brand since 1980 I have seen many changes and have loads of experience with the brand. So you could say when it comes to Volvo there is not mush that I haven’t seen, heard of or maintained.
