I have just been offered a 180k V70 TDI at a bargain price and apart from the mileage it looks like a lovely car - full leather, lots of (working) toys, no rust and good service history. The obvious question though is how reliable can I expect it to be with this sort of mileage on it the clock? It is a manual gearbox so I assume it would be better but I generally do ~25k/Year so would like to know if I could expect another 50k from a good one? Are these engines reliable? Are they the earlier versions of the D5 by any chance? Are they easy to work on/service and what sort of Mileage could I expect from one..? I note with interest that there are not many for sale - not sure if this is because they are rare or just so good, people don't want to get rid of them..! What should I be looking for?

Appreciate the feedback.

Hello. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it is a classic 850 shape car.
