My V70 has no key lock on the outside of the tailgate.
I do see an ~1" diameter, flat area on the tailgate to the right of the license plate area and the opening handle which looks like a knockout plug. This is seen only from below. I think that part of the kit for the extra pair of seats in the cargo area is a handle on the inside and key lock on the outside.
Perhaps if one knew what he was doing he could knock out this plug and manipulate the lock. Or maybe it is designed so that a suitable hole is drilled with a keyhole saw on an electric drill. Then one could use a rubber plug in the hole. It goes without saying that this would only be done in the event that the electric lock could not be made to work.
