Default Volvo S40 1.8 Maya gold Phase 2 "For sale"

Sadly must say goodbye to my car as I'm no longer in employment for the next month!

MOT'd till December.

132,000 miles on the clock! This car has been regularly serviced, however the light is on for an oil change. Engine is very healthy though and has been very reliable.

VVT pulley was replaced at 84k + the timing belt! The car has plenty of receipts for work carried out over the last 5 years or so.

Recent new tyre as well!

Good points

Engine pulls well, and ticks over nice and smoothly.

All tyres have plenty of life left.

Electrics are all working to my knowledge

gearbox is smooth and pleasant to use.

Bad points

Rear tyre has a very slow puncture! not of immediate concern, but worth mentioning.

Body is clean, but there are the usual light scratches and rust is starting to appear at the drivers wing - Also there is a crease on back door and the roof has some small dents thanks to a tile falling on it. Body is average for year, but is very presentable.

The bonnet catch last time decided not to lock when I shut it - after some WD40 it locked. Not sure if this needs adjusted?

Overall this is a solid, reliable, and smart looking car. It is by no means perfect body wise, however it's served me very well since buying march 2011. I'm asking for £700ono.

Any questions I'll do my best to answer- Car is located Ayrshire Scotland

You'd be surprised how little interest this car has had. Really need away and no bites yet

She certainly presents better than my S40

Good points
Sunroof
Window wind deflectors
Spoiler
Leather (seems so from the pics)
5 months mot to 27th Dec 17
Can't comment on the inside as you've lost all the pics for those.


Bad points
some body marks
some wing rust
Bonnet cable playing up (it happens to these)

It might just be a question of timing, or your location, Ayrshire not being the most central place on the map, but the effect could be that the price may need still need to come down a bit.
