Well-preserved RHD Japanese import, now registered on UK plates
Advisory-free MOT to 16th September 2027
One former registered keeper since arrival in the UK in 2023
ULEZ compliant
Kept serviced and garaged throughout current ownership
The Appeal
The Volvo V70 has long been celebrated as one of the finest estate cars available, a byword for comfort, safety, and relaxed long-distance cruising. Most were diesel load-luggers, but the 2.5T variant adds a turbocharged petrol engine to the mix, offering smooth power delivery alongside the generous practicality that has made the V70 a favorite among families and touring enthusiasts alike.
This 2008 P3-generation example was sourced from Japan, where it benefited from the kind of climate and maintenance culture that keeps cars well preserved. Now on UK plates, it presents as a well-maintained example with a black leather interior showing minimal wear. The vendor reports it has been garaged and regularly serviced throughout their ownership, and its MOT record, with every test passed first time, speaks to the level of care it has received. With an advisory-free MOT valid until September 2027, this V70 is ready to serve as a daily driver.image.png1.6 MB
