Description
2006 Volvo V70 2. 5 petrol AWD automatic, finished in Sonic Blue with Nordkapp Blue interior.
Currently on 101, 283 miles, with a clean MOT until October. Imported from Japan and owned by me since 2021. The car has a very complete history recorded through Custodian, documenting maintenance and ownership in detail.
I’ve looked after the car with long-term reliability in mind, and getting everything to feel a tight and smooth as possible. Most of the known age and mileage related work on these cars has already been dealt with.

In total, over £5, 700 has been spent on maintenance and restoration during my ownership, excluding routine servicing. The car drives beautifully, and has a clean diagnostics report from VIDA, so no messages on the Drivers Information Module (DIM)
If you’re looking for a very late face-lift V70R that has already had the expensive and time-consuming work done, this is a solid, well-documented example.
Happy to answer sensible questions or provide further detail if needed. I can provide a detailed log of the cars history from Custodian.
A couple of the photos show the car with tints in the rear. To be clear these have been removed to get the clean clear glass look.
