My guess would be it's had a rear end and been repaired with second hand parts. In many cases that's fine, but generally it's sign it's been done on the cheap.

It might be fine but I think it's fair to say if you buy it there is an increased risk of issues. Certainly have a good look at the boot floor and rear door gaps.

6 hour drive away. So I think I’ll just keep looking.
Thanks for weighing in though. Appreciate it!

Poor little Volvo.

Nobody wants it anymore.

Have pity and give it a good home

....... for at least two weeks before you find that you have to move it on ASAP, and at a loss.

From those pictures I would say (it may be the light) but the alignment/gap between the rear hatch and bumper is not even.

Also - 4 not matching cheap chinese ditch finder tyres. Not a good sign. But genuine Volvo brake pads?

Also the D5 and V60 badges are lower than they should be. Something strange definitely going on with the rear!
