Description
2005 Volvo V70 T5 - 260BHP - Ex-Police - Well Maintained
For sale is my 2005 Volvo V70 T5, powered by the legendary turbocharged 5-cylinder engine producing 260bhp. A proper old-school Volvo with a bulletproof engine, plenty of power and fantastic practicality.
Originally an ex-police vehicle that served in Suffolk, so spent its working life in relatively flat countryside rather than being hammered around busy city streets.
I purchased the car from a mechanic and it's clearly been well looked after over the years. It's a strong, reliable car that drives really well. The engine pulls hard through all gears, the clutch feels good and the brakes are spot on.
Recent maintenance and good points:
* 4 brand-new tyres
* Freshly serviced with new oil and filters
* Strong 260bhp T5 turbo engine
* Smooth gearbox and good clutch
* Good brakes
* AUX stereo connectivity
* 2 keys
* Reliable and dependable
* Purchased from a mechanic
* Well looked after throughout
A couple of things worth mentioning: The engine management light comes on intermittently due to a suspected faulty fuel pressure sensor. This hasn't stopped the car driving well. Unfortunately, the previous owner misplaced the paperwork, so there's no service history folder.
MOT is valid until 05/12/2026.
Overall, a solid, powerful and increasingly hard-to-find V70 T5. These older 5-cylinder Volvos have a fantastic reputation for longevity, and this one still pulls exactly as you'd expect from a 260bhp T5.
A great practical performance estate with plenty of life left in it.
Selling due to no longer need an estate car otherwise I'd be keeping it!
Genuine enquiries welcome.
