XC70: Information - 2016 xc70 t5 awd

Georgeandkira · Feb 27th, 2024, 14:53

In brief:
I've owned and driven 3 non-turbo V70 over 20 years.

A reputable dealership has a gorgeous example of the title vehicle with full service history. It has <120K miles and a brand new timing belt.
This is a gasoline fueled vehicle.

The VIN is: YV4612NM3G1267214
Are there known problems with this era XC70?
I realize the question is way broad and seemingly lazy of me but searching for such problems is difficult.

Were any years before 2016 "facelift" or redesign years?

I'd love to hear from anyone who has had experience with this era XC70.
A test drive on Thursday is scheduled.

I'm not 100% sure if the UK had this model. We had a T6 3.0 and loads of diesel engines but I dont recall seeing a P3 T5. If it's the same 2.5 T 5 cylinder that was in the P2 XC70 It will be fine. If it's the 4 cylinder T5 that we had in the V70 I wouldnt be as confident. Also I think the 2.0 T5 was powershift box that I wouldn't touch with a bargepole

Thanks for responding.
I searched a parts site and determined that the 2.5l 5 cyl. listed for this 2016 XC-70 was for that year only.

The thermostat housing differs and the entire top of the engine looks different too. The title vehicle has a 6 speed.

Ha...Thursday 7th March is now the date for the test drive.

After seeing some listings, people using "model year 2014.5" makes me think that, or 2015, was a facelift year.

Anyone with any recollections, experiences or comments, let's hear from you.

This car has me salivating and I don't want to "buy stupid".
