V70: Information - Considering purchase of 2009, 100K, 2 litre manual

Parisien · Aug 24th, 2019, 19:12

As above, anyone know of any issues with the petrol engine version, or of any issues at all this model year? Apart from usual age/mileage related wear and tear, anything else to look for?

I currently drive a 2007 2 litre V50 petrol, is it the same engine ?

Any opinions or knowledge appreciated.

Took delivery of this yesterday, drove 100 miles from Dublin across our currently, yolk soft border, notably more refined than outgoing V50, handling less precise, softer ride, a nice environment to be in.

Has a full service history, 10 stamps over 10 years (first 4 at an MD) , but according to service manual as a Flexifuel 2.0 engine it should have been every 10k kms

Apart from stating a service every 10k, oil and filter, there's no other guidance in the handbooks, can anyone shed any light on further servicing needs?

Already NOVAed it, MOT tomorrow and hoping it passes send off all paperwork to DVLA for UK registration.
