2003 VOLVO V70 R AWD

KEY FACTS

• A low mileage example of the practical performance estate, finished in a particularly rare factory colour combination.
• Under the bonnet is a 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine, which produces around 296bhp and drives all four wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission.
• First registered in Japan in August 2003 and imported into the UK in 2020, this V70R was specified in the rare and eye-catching colour combination of Flash Green over an Atacama leather interior.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Factory-fitted equipment includes heated and electrically adjustable front seats with memory function for the driver, dual-zone climate control and an electric sunroof.
• The car rides on the correct set of 17-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels, which are in great shape.
• This V70 R will be accompanied by its original Japanese handbooks and two keys.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Believed to be fully original, the paintwork is in good overall condition with a few small marks around the car, including scuffs on the passenger-side rear wheel arch and the driver’s-side of the front bumper, a blemish on the passenger-side front valance, one small mark on the passenger-side of the roof and another minor blemish on the lower edge of the tailgate.
• Inside, the cabin presents reasonably well, but does show signs of its age. The front seats’ leather upholstery has surface cracking, and some heavier wear to the outer bolster where the leather has started to flake – though this may be able to be improved with a professional repair treatment.
• There are also minor scratches on the door trims, the top of the dashboard and the centre console.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 6 April 2021 at 75,627km, which resulted in a first-time pass without a single advisory.

SERVICE HISTORY

• As this V70R was imported from Japan its service history has not been translated, though there are some old receipts in the file. The vendor believes that the cam belt was changed in August 2010 at 53,039km.
