Volvo, V70, Estate, 2002, Other, 2401 (cc), 5 doors

Description

A genuinely well-maintained Volvo V70 D5 automatic with extensive documented servicing and the important long-term jobs already completed.

WHY THIS CAR STANDS OUT
- Average service interval of approximately 7,600 miles (Volvo recommend 12,000)
- Over £2,700 spent on maintenance during my ownership alone
- Cambelt, water pump and gearbox maintenance already completed
- Smooth, healthy automatic gearbox (a known weak point on these cars)

I have owned the car since 120,000 miles; it is now on 147,659 miles and in daily use, so mileage may increase slightly. It has 7 months MOT remaining (21st August 2026).

HISTORY AND MAINTENANCE
- Full service history
- Exceptionally well serviced throughout its life and far more frequently than Volvo’s recommended 12,000-mile intervals
- Average service interval of approximately 7,600 miles over the car’s lifetime
- Early and mid-life servicing often carried out at 5,000–7,000-mile intervals
- Stamped service book with a large file of supporting receipts
- Cambelt and water pump replaced at 120k (with receipts)
- Automatic gearbox & transmission fluid system has been serviced, refreshed and maintained
(a known weak point on these cars and rare to find this work done — shifts smoothly and performs exactly as it should)
- Fuel injector replaced in 2024
- Brand new quality battery recently fitted (£160)
- Over £2,700 spent on maintenance during my ownership alone, all documented with receipts.

SPECIFICATION & FEATURES
- Starts, drives and pulls very well
- Strong, reliable D5 engine with smooth automatic gearbox
- Special Edition trim
- Great Special Edition Factory stereo
- Air conditioning works very well
- Heated seats (passenger side works)
- Cruise control
- Cream leather interior with retro trim
- 2 keys
- Bluetooth connectivity via cigarette adapter (included)

CONDITION:
- No known rust issues
- Paintwork is fair for age. Scuffs and bumps as expected with age.
- Light cosmetic scratch down the left-hand side (purely cosmetic)
- Interior generally good; driver’s seat shows age-related wear
-

MINOR AGE RELATED ISSUES (reflected in the price)
- Brake light bulb warning (simple fix)
- Passenger-side wing mirror is loose and electric adjustment does not work
(mirror adjusts manually and does not affect MOT)
- headlight wipers do not work

OWNERSHIP & PAPERWORK
- 4 owners total
- I am the registered keeper
- V5 present
- Clear of finance

This is an honest, well-looked-after car, not a neglected example. The expensive preventative work has already been done, making it a sensible buy for someone wanting a reliable, comfortable estate rather than a project.

This has genuinely been our favourite car we’ve owned and is only being sold due to a move to London where it will no longer be needed.

Happy to answer sensible questions.
