1999 VOLVO V70 reviews

Volvo V70 2.5d auto 1999

I’ve had this car from 2007, before hand I also used it as a pool car. I’m only 28 and needed to buy a good estate car for work. I’ve put around 150,00 mile on it myself and in one year put 80,000 of that mileage on it, the car in total has now done 250,000 miles. Its the 2.5d auto (mid trim level). Its been driven in the floods in Gloucestershire and the white out over the last two years, as well as up and down the UK and it’s never missed a beat. It’s helped me move house 3 times and I’ve done up two houses with it. I’ve used it for work (carrying productions team around the uk with equipment) and slept in it at festivels too. It still does 45mpg. I’ve had to replace one or two parts on it over the years and I think the air cons is on its way out....I can live with that though. If you drive it hard it eats front tyers and I have randomly had to change the head lights on it (but I think that’s a common fault). I found this site by chance as I’m actually look for a way to clean the turbo on it and I just wanted to say it’s an amazing car and would recommend it to anyone! One thing I would say is that I do change the oil in it every 5,000 miles as this help not just with the general running of it, but really helps with the life of the turbo, but that is a bit of a given. I’m at a point where I don’t really need a car like this any more and would like to buy an A3, but I just can’t get rid of it, not only because it’s still a good car, but it’s really grown on me (and my partner). It’s a really good car and I would recommend it to anyone.
