facelifted V70 T5 will have the 2.4 T5 lump, the stronger of any variants. Well serviced would do in excess of 250k without incident.

IMHO though, all p2 cars are money pits, seemingly chasing next job after next job

racks burst frequently, clusters fail, lower arms wear out rather quick, noisy VVT hubs, awds strip angle gear splines etc etc. All cars have their achilles heels it must be said, but this is why i stick to the older ones: less to break and far cheaper and easier to fix.
