What to look for in a D5

Bryan271 · Feb 14th, 2012, 18:19

The time is near to replace my 05 V50 2.0D sport se. Now has close on 111000 miles on it.
Was thinkin of getting an 08/09 V50 D5 R-Design.
Is there anything in particular I should look out for.
I.E DPF problems etc......
Thanks Bryan

You may get a better response if you post this question in the correct section and not the "sales" section.

At that age, I'd always buy through the Volvo Selekt used car scheme, may pay a couple of quid more but the extras you get with it more than outweigh the cost imo.

Only problem I can think of is the rising oil level, which I think most cars will have had the Recall by now.
