Looks like we V70 owners like to keep hold of our vehicles.
Just bought my 06 plate D5 SE with 195,000 and feels as solid as a rock. Beautifully engineered and so wafty on the commute to and from work everyday. Currently getting an average of 43 mpg over the 1500 miles I've put on it since June. Reckon I'll run it for another 3 years or so and upgrade to either a phase 3 or an XC60.
Well I guess it's a good sign when people hang on to cars up to high mileage. Same issue with my other target, the B6 A4 TDI 130, all of them have done mega miles....Just bought my 06 plate D5 SE with 195,000 and feels as solid as a rock.

Maybe some will appear with the September plate change as a few owners part ex.

Tim - any luck yet? I'm searching for much the same right now. Hoping to see a 2004 2.5 D manual (108k, full history) one this weekend, has the (seemingly) rare 7 seats too. Dealer is asking £3895 which seems reasonable so far. I think it's the 185 model.
Yep - I bought a facelift 55 plate V70 2.4D SE (163hp) from an auction in October. Nice condition with a full history and cambelt recently done. So far it's been good and I've done 4.5k miles in it, averaging about 44mpg according to the computer. Only fly in the ointment is the fact it's telling me it needs a service despite the book saying it had one in August 2014 5k miles ago. Either the service stamp is squiffy or the computer wasn't reset. Also it has rather odd steering feel - like it's trying to self-centre when you wind a bit of lock on - slightly disconcerting but I'm hoping it's a characteristic of the breed rather than an inherent problem...Gassing Station | Volvo & Polestar | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
