Hi there. Some questions. How long have you owned the car, how many previous owners, how much of the service history is Volvo? Second batch, how does the remap affect performance and economy, how long ago was clutch done? Does the 4wd work, car drive smooth etc..? What is the realistic mpg of this car on motorway around 55/60mph?.. yes, I am that slow/careful. Thanks in advance for any answers provided, my usual budget is a couple of grand but this may be time to spoil myself!

Hi
I aquired the veh on the 11/02/2015
3 previous owners
No volvo service history
Clutch was done August 2016 after my holiday From Scotland. mileage wise from it being replaced till now would be about 16000 miles
the 4 WD works
The Remap is a progressive Map through the rev range which is very smooth and delivers good power, for economy i would say yes it gives you a bit more Mpg depending how you drive.
As for the realistic mpg of this car on motorway
i can not give you a fair answer i drive the car with full use of the Map, this does not mean i thrash the arse of it,so i am going to say below your estimated figures. i would agree that you may get that amount of Mpg driving Slow Etc
hope that helps.
i have attatched pictures of the Mot history
Mike

Good morning,

Very interested.

Two questions: Does it have a DPF and is it the 199grams per Km version re. the road tax?

Many thanks
