Another way to tell is the four cylinder cars are 2.0 litre. The five cylinder are 2.4 litre. My opinion would be get a five cylinder version. They would be more expensive on fuel & dearer to tax than a four cylinder, but the five cylinder is a proven fantastic engine. I’m not saying the four cylinder ones aren’t good, but there’s plenty of issues with regards to oil consumption on other models with the same four cylinder engines. Volvo done recalls on these.

Is the Volvo Selekt worth it, not that they have many V70s anyway?

So long as you buy a car that has been looked after, ideally with full service history, then Volvo Selekt wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Ah... if the MOT History check is done on the reg number in the photo, then something isn't right unless it's been for sale a very long time....

The 5 cylinder D4's have the 6 speed box I think... You should also think about any travelling you might do and if a Euro 6 car would be beneficial (i.e. Birmingham, London or Bath).

How have they made the 4 cylinder engine more refined?
