Default 2012 (61) Volvo XC90 D5 SE Lux FSH 2 Year Warr, £11,950ovno

Purchased this in late April 2019 with 58,000 on the clock. It was imported from Jersey and has a full Volvo service history and 1 previous owner.

We needed something that was really comfortable, could hold a load of stuff and could do long distances easily, primarily regular trips to France.

We've done 2-3 long trips to France, around 1200 miles per trip and it's probably the best car we've had to do it in. It's incredibly comfortable, quiet and relaxing to drive.

Current mileage is 63,500 though this may go up a little as I drive it to work to keep it running. It's in very good condition, there's a couple of age related marks, but no rust.

We had planned on keeping it for some time, therefore we spent a fair amount of money on it:
  • 3-year warranty, which has over 2 years left, covers wear and tear (not brakes or tires) and it transferrable to the new owner. Cost £700
  • Michelin CrossClimate All Season tires about 3,000 miles ago, they cost £660 fitted.
  • As soon as we got it we had it serviced by a well know independent Volvo specialist (CIVC). The dealer we bought it from had serviced it, but we wanted to be sure. We asked for a full major service plus replacing the camchain. However, the camchain had already been replaced by Volvo in Jersey, 17,000 miles before, not sure why, but it saved around £400 and doesn't need to be done again for 100,000 miles. Cost £350.
  • New brake pads, fitted by dealer
  • Laser aligned tracking

As mentioned, we were going to hold onto it for a good few years, but our circumstances have changed and we have to sell it. We’re really sorry to see it go.

It has the following specifications:
  • Adaptive Xenon Headlamps with UK/Europe settings
  • Automatic lights
  • Rain Sensor - Automatic Windscreen Wiper Activation
  • Heated front seats
  • Blindspot Monitoring
  • Rear Park Assist
  • 3 Individual Folding 2nd Row Seats
  • 2 Individual Folding 3rd Row Seats
  • Cruise Control
  • Climate Control
  • Powered driver seat with memory
  • Powered front passenger seat
  • Bluetooth audio streaming and phone connection
  • High Performance Sound Audio System - Radio/CD, USB/Aux Input
  • Power Folding, Power Adjustable and Heated Door Mirrors with Ground Lights and Memory
  • Dark Tinted Rear Windows
  • Removable parcel shelf
  • Passenger compartment safety netting, stops loose items being thrown through the cabin
  • WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System) (Front Seats)
