Description
My beloved XC70 needs work doing to get it back into proper shape, and I don't have the kit or a garage nearby who can make this work, so I'm looking to sell on. Main thing here for me is to make sure it goes to a good home - either for work or spares! - as I am quite fond of the car.
I've had it for around 10 years and it's always been serviced at my local Volvo dealership, so is in fairly good condition for a 20-year-old car.
I've had the car equipped with a detachable swan-neck tow bar which will come with the car, and includes the dog load separator for the boot as well.
Current mileage is 123486 (but may go up slightly as the car is still in use). Car is ULEZ compliant so no daily charges for driving!
I've outlined the issues I'm aware of below. Looking for ~£800 and I'm based in North London near Finsbury Park.
Headline Issues
==============
1. There's a leak in the fuel filler line which manifests as fuel leaking out when the car is being filled. I've got the spare rubber connector (which will come with the car!) but lack the ability to get the car up on a lift and change it out - which is probably 7-8 hours work.
2. There's a slow leak in the steering rack. Again this is a job which should be straightforward with access to a lift, but I don't have the facilities to lift the car for 1-2 days. AIUI the two main options here are to fix the current rack or get it reconditioned for a few hundred quid.
3. While I was under the car I spotted the fuel line cover was loose. I've ziptied it back up but the mount points under the car have corroded, so while I do have the clips for the cover there's nothing to clip it to!
MOT Advisories
==============
During getting the above items checked, my car went in for its MOT - due for renewal in September 2027. It came back with the following advisories:
- Brake disc worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened Rear
- Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement NS front
- Tyre slightly damaged/cracked or perishing: NS rear + OS rear
- Coil spring corroded: NS rear + OS rear
- Sub-frame corroded but not seriously weakened Rear
Other bits
==========
The car does have some foibles which I'm fine with but for clarity I would want to make sure any new owner is aware of.
- Some electrical funnies in the radio, which shows up as the display turning off occasionally. Audio keeps playing just fine - it's just a pain to change stations while the display's on the blink.
- Front driver's speaker occasionally cuts out - a quick bang with the hand brings it back, so probably just a loose connection in there.
- Interior trim is peeling slightly on the passenger A-pillar.
- There's a half-circle scratch on the tailgate glass caused by the previous owner running the rear wiper with a very worn blade.
