2003 XC70 D5 Geartronic for sale £4500

[Andy511]

Due to the arrival of a newer vehicle our XC70 must find a new home. The car is actually my step father’s, although I did own the car for 1 year. It was his for 6 years, then mine and back to him about six weeks ago.

It’s a 2003 53 plate in met burgundy with black leather. It’s a diesel (D5 163) with the geartronic box. Mot is to 22 September 2011, tax is to the end of this month. Due to a daily commute from Bradford to Mansfield the mileage is 209000 there is loads of history and all the old Mot’s are available. I’m pretty sure the spec is SE Lux, factory sat nav (2010 DVD) with TV, heated front seats, 4 cd changer in the dash, dog guard which can be raised or lowered (never had a dog in the car though), roof rails etc.

The general condition is good there are a few dints and scratches, I will try to add some photo’s today to document this. The worst point is a split in the rear bumper, I was quoted £180 to have it repaired but never got round to it, it’s been like that for over 100,000 miles so we got used to it. My step father informs me there is a new scratch on the front passenger door which might need attention, I haven’t seen it yet but the guy who did the mot reckons it will polish out. (photo’s to follow).

The car was brilliant in the snow last winter, we live on quite a steep road that never got gritted and the car breezed up and down hill.

The car was over £30k and has been well looked after, we are looking for £4500.

I will be pleased to answer any questions through this forum and arrange a viewing/test drive as required.

Hopefully the link below should take you to some photos of the car.

Forgot to mention before that the car is near Bingley to the north of Bradford West Yorks.

Cheers

Hi have you got any more pics of the inside of the car..

[Andy511]

I will get some extra photos on saturaday.

The scratch on the passenger door which I mentioned in the original post has been buffed out and is now barely noticable. Photos to follow.

Cheers Andy.

Thanks for the extra photos..

A few questions

1) In pic 5, it shows a scuff mark just above the bumper behind the wheel arch. How bad is this? Has is gone through the paint work etc.. Can't make it out form the photo

2) Have you had any major issues with the car, any thing replaced expect the run of the mill things. e.g suspension/Immobiliser

3) General Service History. The ad says loads of history, could you confirm that this shows the car has been serviced at the required internals, so in affect gives it a full service history.. When was it last serviced?

4) Where there any advisories on the last MOT?

5) What is the tread like on the tyres (inc spare)

6) What mpg are you getting

Cheers

Hi,

I'd love to see answers on the above questions (esp. 5 and 6) as my D5 GT AWD does 30mpg and yours shows 45 average.

And: is it the Haldex AWD already?

The history pack is in the car and a family member has borrowed the car for a few weeks, I will try to answer the other question.

1. The scratch is through the paint but not rusting. will add better photo is due course.
2. No major issues. Alarm service message appears sometimes when starting. Front springs replaced after one broke. Cambelt change about 6 months ago.
3. History info will follow.
4. No advisories at MOT.
5. Tyres are all pirelli scorpions (M&S) will have to check depth when car is returned. Spare is a space saver, I dont think its ever been used.
6. When was using the car my commute was only 5 miles in stop start traffic mpg was 25-30 (worst in the winter). My stepfather has a 90 mile commute and the computer shows 45mpg.

More information will follow when the car is returned.

It is also taxed for 6 months now.

Cheers Andy

90 mile commute returns 45mpg average.
5 mile commute returns 25-30mpg average.

Haldex question a bit technical for me, the car was great in the snow so the rear wheels certainly engage when needed.

If you need more info please let me know.
