As the above poster mentioned, the TFT dash feels so much more modern than the earlier separate dials type so definitely worth seeking out.

Just trying to decide if I could cope with the beige/cream interior. Also I'm not overly keen on the fact its had 4 previous owners. |

I’ve had five Volvo estates, all dark interiors (black, grey and blue leather as I recall!) except one which was creamy beige in a P2 V70 T5 which I never quite got on with. It was always a bit doctors waiting room for me but they can look really nice in the right car.

I’m probably in the minority preferring the beige interior, it makes the car feel a lot lighter and bigger inside. Downside is the drivers seat is known to crack a little from the sun, where as the black leather doesn’t have that problem.
That car has a good spec, with the xenon’s and adaptive cruise control. Good engine, but it’s not ULEZ compliant if that’s an issue for you. Check it’s had timing and aux belts replaced.

I have light beige interior in my S80. I've got to be honest, I really like it. Yes it shows the dirt more, but it just looks lovely. Not that I have anything against dark interior or anything against anyone who owns a car with it, but I think a dark exterior paint and dark interior especially is a bit too dull for me.
I get that it doesn't suit everyone though. If you have young kids or pets, trying to keep a beige interior clean would be a nightmare!

I also think that a light beige leather steering wheel - a la D5 - looks very smart and luxurious, but I do manage to cope manfully and with very few tears with my extremely ordinary, tiresome, and mundane black one.

Is this rear end standard for a 2014 D5?
It looks more like an R-Design styling. Does the exhaust look right? |

It looks like someone has replaced the rear bumper at some point with a different model and then not finished the exhaust properly
