Well chaps, you have really cheered me up. As you can see I am new on here as I have recently purchased a Volvo V70. My previous Volvo's were a 164 back in the 70's and a 740 in the late 90's. Both were brilliant but both were petrol with the latter being quite high miles (189K) which I sold privately with the buyer saying that it was just run in.
Our last 2 vehicles, me and her's were a Nissan Navara and a Toyota Avensis, you can guess who drove which. The Navara, an auto was superb especially towing quite a heavy sports car on a 4 wheeled trailer, and a classic XJ. It had covered 178K when I sold it last year and went like a rocket, the Toyota a diesel was also epic and was sold back in Feb when I bought the Volvo. It does have a full service history with the last service stating the battery (Volvo original) was reading low so I knew it was due for replacement. I bought is privately so checked its history service wise and MoT wise which it passed without any advisories. Fingers crossed with what is stated in previous posts it should be a happy ownership. |

2007 v70 d5
Just shy of the quarter million, 241,000 miles still pulls like an ox and burns very little oil.... Used as my tow car so a lot of those will have had 1500-1800kg behind her.... She is remapped... Fantastic car ultra reliable...

My 2009 D5 185 (EURO 4) is approaching the 150K mile mark (so just run in as some would say) and feels 100%
Same Volvo Main dealer (Mill Garages North East Ltd.) service history from when they sold the car New up until 2016 / 90K miles... with Independent Garages servicing there after. Lots of preventative maintenance & new bits recently and I'm planing on changing the engine oil & filter more frequently than the servicing schedule recommends (10K instead of 18K) to prolong it's life

Not Volvo's however racked up 186k miles in my Audi A6 2.7TDi and 155k miles in an A2 1.4TDi. The A2 was remapped from 75 horses to around 105 and installed a higher 5th gear ratio. Just sold my Passat at 115k miles (so just run in) and changing to my first Volvo, a V60 D6 Hybrid on Saturday. Will continue using premium diesel (VPower etc) and once out of warranty will use a local Volvo indy specialist for servicing.

My 2003 V70 with a Euro 3 D5 engine has just clocked over 313,000 miles.
Still covers regular long journeys and tows my caravan for most of the year. I have just fitted a new turbo control governor and the average mpg on the display is 56.4. This might drop soon as I get the caravan out again. |

Just bought my first Volvo. A 2006 V70 D5 with 122000 miles. Lots of history so looking forward to it lasting longer than my Peugeot 308 1.6 diesel. Bought for its reputation as very reliable, well built and very safe. Fingers crossed.
