The Appeal

The Volvo V70R sits at the apex of Volvo's performance estate lineage, pairing a muscular 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder with Haldex all-wheel drive and sport-tuned suspension. Offering a distinctly Scandinavian take on the fast estate formula, the V70R has earned a loyal following, and well-sorted examples are becoming increasingly hard to find.

This 2006 example in Electric Silver Metallic has been recently imported from Japan by the vendor, arriving with a copy of its original export certificate to verify the mileage. Since landing in the UK, it has been fully registered and treated to a thorough engine service, including a new cam belt kit, an auxiliary belt, and a reconditioned turbo sourced from Turbo Developments. It has passed a fresh MOT with no advisories. The bodywork presents exceedingly well in its silver metallic finish, while the leather interior shows only age-appropriate wear. It sits on its 18-inch Pegasus alloy wheels, described by the vendor as original, and has a genuine Volvo 7-seat conversion.
