I tend to keep an eye on my local specialist, Horton Cars. They’re a Volvo specialist that also sell loads of used Volvos.
They also guarantee the vehicles that they sell and have a high customer retention. As a family, we’ve now purchased six used Volvos from them - a P1 V70, a P2 V70, a P2 S60, a Mark 1 C70, a P3 XC70 and a V60. All of these cars were good examples and any issues were sorted without quibble. Currently, they have a nice-looking 2013 V70 D5 SE Lux Geartronic for sale at £7985. |

If you go for the manual , have you added in the cost of a new dual mass flywheel to the clutch change. Not just a clutch but the whole kit and caboodle. Having said that my V70 2007/8 model had 146k on it when I sold it . Still on original clutch and still working fine. My advice would be that if you find another wise nice car with ? Over the clutch and not priced accordingly ,walk away . Similarly auto boxes with high miles that have not had fluid changed can be a problem .
Listen for any creeking from rear suspension. This is likely to be rear trailing arm from bushes and will set you back about £300 at a garage. Listen for slight knocking from front suspension when driving over slight road undulations . This will undoubtedly be front shocks and top mounts. I replaced my own at a cost of around £250. The good thing about Volvo is that their servicing has been computerised for some years so any servicing can easily be checked. Timing and auxiliary belts are crucial.

I understand that, but I wanted print-outs of the servicing work that has been done over the years prior to my ownership, but they refused.
I did suspect that maybe I was speaking to a jobsworth. I'll try again, but its not important.
