Description
A great, economical, high specification, safe family 4 door-car.
We have owned this from a year old (purchased from a Volvo dealership - one previous owner when we purchased it). We have looked after it, with regular servicing, and it, in return, it has looked after us.
A reliable and safe car with many features (see the full list) such as the Adaptive Cruise control, City Safety, Blind Spot sensors, dual zone Climate control, heated front seats, auto-sensing wipers, heated windscreen (great for those frosty mornings) and too many others to repeat here. It also has the added benefit of a decent spare wheel as opposed to a compressor and bottle of 'goo' to try to seal a puncture by the roadside. Satnav is also included as is Bluetooth phone integration for calls and seeing incoming texts.
The fuel economy, as shown in the photo shows a real-life average of 54mpg over the last 2,874 miles/87 hours of driving. Road tax is 195 annually.
There is also the real advantage of no need for AdBlue, a costly additional fuel additive for more recent diesel cars.
Full-service history, initially at a Volvo dealership, but then at a local independent Volvo service garage. Again, see the photos for the service record. Never an MOT failure with very few advisories. Apart from normal, relatively minor issues (e.g. an ABS sensor failure/replacement) and brake pad/disc replacements, the services have routine.
An honest car that has just recently had a mini valet, but the engine bay has not been touched on purpose - there is nothing to hide.
The only damage we know of are three quite small scratches on the driver's side rear quarter lower bumper (see final photo). And, of course, normal wear and tear to the rims of the alloy wheels that seem to be very hard to avoid over our almost 7 years and 74,000 miles usage. All shown in the photos.
Tyres are all top brands with approx. 6mm tread depth on each. The original service/handbooks, two keys and the locking wheel nut socket are all present.
Payment would be via bank transfer or if paying it cash, the transaction carried out in a local branch of Nationwide Building Society to have the cash deposited at the time.
A fair price, considering an almost identical aged model is for sale from a forecourt with 4k less mileage for 1,400 less than this one (with an Autotrader Fair Price label).
Please do get in touch if you have any questions and/or wish to undertake and accompanied test drive (PE34 postcode).
