I'm presuming you mean the newer P3 models.
The 2.4D is in fact the old D5 engine. The new version being a twin turbo.

Bomb proof reliability as far as I know although, being a heavier car than the older P2 models, the MPG suffers slightly.

Not sure, the slightly older model? P?

[martinrpeachey]

P1= 1997-2000
P2= 2000-2007 (although there's a crossover of a few months at each end)
P3= 2007-present

[gaz1234]

okay, will look at p3s then

Getting 40 MPG mixed driving from mine. 45-48 MPG possible on a run with sensible driving. Excellent car.

£10,500 for a 58 plate v70 ?? That's hardly cheap.

Mileage is fairly average for a 6 year old car and the auto box isn't nearly as reliable (or economical) as the spanish. Reckon that's about £2500 over book.

Manual 2.4D 2008, getting 43-50 on motorways.

2009 SE V70 2.4D with 55K and I paid 10K from a dealer.

The post 2007 auto boxes are much better. It's the earlier ones that suffered.

You'll get 50ish on a run - reliability is a strong point compared to many other modern diesels
