Description
1996 Volvo 850 T5
Volvo 850 T5, a genuine example of one of the most respected performance saloons of the 1990s.
Having covered 150, 000km from new (approximately 93, 000 miles), this is considered low mileage for the model
Powered by the 2. 3 litre 20 valve turbocharged five cylinder engine, the T5 delivers the performance the badge is known for.
The engine sounds beautiful and idles smoothly through the rev range
Runs and drives superb
A very comfortable and capable long distance car while still offering the character that made the T5 so well regarded.
Recently serviced, with the following work completed:
• new drop links
• new driveshaft gaiters
• new rear shock absorbers
• engine oil and oil filter replaced
•Both front brake hoses
The interior remains in good condition for its age and reflects careful ownership. Notably, it retains desirable original features:
• original Volvo CD player
• original warning triangle in factory case
• factory fitted Volvo air purifier
These small details are often missing and contribute to the car’s originality
All major systems operate correctly, including electric seats, windows , traction control, eco/ sports mode
interior is a great demonstration of the robust build quality associated with Volvo vehicles of this era.
Externally, the bodywork presents unbelievable for its age.
It is an honest example that has been maintained rather than modified, which is increasingly rare.
Clean, unaltered T5 models are becoming harder to find !
In summary, this is a straight, well maintained and increasingly collectible example of the Volvo 850 T5. Sensibly maintained, recently serviced and retaining original features, it represents an opportunity to acquire a modern classic with genuine character.
The car recently passed its first ever MOT and the application for UK registration has just been sent off…
