Default XC70 P2 D5 - looking out for a good one

Looking for my latest unicorn!

As above, prefer an XC70 next - AWD handy to help get to my mothers in the frozen north, so really would prefer one with proper haldex. Proof of an oil change of said haldex would be nice too. I'm not interested in a pimped Mondeo, so P2 is the one for me! Really dislike rust so clean underneath, on the strut mounts and wheel arches.

I prefer auto boxes, but would consider a manual 6 speed - again, some proof of trans fluid change would be preferred. I don't care if the tyres are getting thin, would be fitting winter or all season rubber anyway, so unless that's the boots on there, legal is all I'd need to get her home. A decent amount of MoT and some signs of a good service history wanted, I know I'm looking at old iron here, so there will always be issues to deal with but I'd rather not spend time on the hard shoulder if I don't need to - happy to get stuff sorted as and when it's due.

Interior I always feel looks better in gloomy black than beige that ends up getting dirty too easily, has to have the heated seats - no room for change on that, SWMBO insists on it!

I'm based in Edinburgh, but will travel to get the car if needs be, obviously nearer will make life easier! Will obviously update if I get one.

Cheers!

Found one! Forgot to update the thread, but I'm properly back. The 2016 v60 cc I had just didn't feel 'proper'!

Have a 185 D5 XC70 SE from 2007 now and very happy with it am I! Ok, had to spend a couple of thousand getting some things addressed, but now it's running well. I guess I'll need to change to petrol in a couple of years once Edinburgh council force me off the road for having a dirty diesel, but until then I can be happy.
