Default 850 non turbo 64,000 miles 12 months m.o.t.

Ok this isn’t going to win any awards for its composition but I’ll include the important bits.
It’s a low mileage car but it’s a bit tatty with the odd dent here and there, so no show queen.
It’s has partial service history, Mileage is a genuine 63,700 as of today but will go up a bit as I’m using it everyday to get to work.
I’ve just brought it back from garage after having its m.o.t. and now has 12 months on it.
Reg is P893 NRK so you can check, might take a day or two to update.
It’s an auto and has a tow hitch, that I’ve never used.
It’s been totally reliable for me, I was using it to do 120 miles a day 5 days a week and never let me down.Now I’m doing 40 miles a day so won’t go up at an alarming rate.
Just ask me any questions.
I’m selling it because I’ve found another Volvo that I want.
Offers over £1500 please.
I’ve only advertised it here but will broaden the advert if it hasn’t sold by end of November.

I’ve had it around 2 years,original owner has it for around 20 years.
When he passed away a friend of his wife sold it to me, he was handling estate.
Most of the history got lost or couldn’t be found after the guy died,which I’m sure was extensive as he looked after it very well.
It was used mainly on their Summer holidays to get down to Cornwall for their Hols once or twice a year, hence the exceceptionally low mileage.

That looks really nice, I remember the advert for this as I thought it was a good buy. It looks far from tatty though, are these the pics from when you bought it or recent?

Do you know when the last cambelt was?

I don’t know when cam belt was last done,I’m sorry.
Those are original pics from advert,i don’t even have original,advert.I wish I did,think it was on an old iPad.
I’ve said to a couple of people I will take some current pics and test the PCV with the ‘glove test’ and post the results.
Is offers over £1500 a realistic price?
I mean tatty as it has a couple of debts and scuffs on bumpers and the dash above glove box has been pulled and looks terrible.
But it is one of the lowest mileage 850s I’ve ever come across.

Condition will dictate the price so depends how bad the scuffs and dents are! Your price sounds reasonable but better pictures and more details will help your cause. Low mileage cars don't always mean they are good

There are still a few low mileage cars out there, mine turned 61,852 miles a couple of weeks ago before being tucked away for the winter
