Hi there
Previously I have had a 2009 V50 which had the 1.6D Drive engine which was then sold earlier this year.
I have bought it with 118k on the clock and ran it to almost 138k.
that said, the V50 had proper service history and I have had it serviced 3 times
During the 20k miles of ownership on top of the 118k I have had no trouble at all, only replaced consumables and suspension.
It's started every time and it felt fine for a V50, which is quite a bit lighter and more nimble, and this V70 P3 I have now has significantly smaller turning circle, which makes parking a bit harder
Please see below for my thoughts on the 1.6D:
