Hi Everyone,

Apologies if this is not in the right section.

I have my trusty V70 2002 140 off the road for the past 2 years. I got it ready for the mot then realised I don't need it. As it was in the hight of covid I just put it to one side and started and moved it every 2-3 weeks.

It's got 217k on the clock and was regularly serviced with an interim oil and filter change. Only problem are alarm and air on don't work.

Any advice appreciated

Bob

If you can get it a years MOT, and if it cleans up well then you could advertise it at £1,000 and you should get a close offer?

Without an mot it becomes a project really, and not a very desirable one due to the number out there.

I would certainly attempt to get an mot on it.

A few months ago on Autotrader, somebody was selling a very tatty light blue Gen 1 V70 2.4 140 with MOT and 255,000+ miles on the clock , described as a "workhorse", for £1,000
