I've seen a couple of import 2014/15 V60 T5s with huge spec from Japan pop up, had a bit of a dig & the T5 engines from that era (in the V60 anyway) seemed to be the 4 cylinder 2.0l, with the Polestar 3.0 T6 version being the other (rarer) option. Not sure what drivetrain the XC70 t5 came with but there seemed a common theme with above average oil consumption over 70k-ish, so to make sure it had a bulletproof history.
Tempting though with the reduced tax on imports & decent upfront cost

I'm thinking about importing a replacement for my Outback. Looking at the Volvo XC70 T5 AWD, they only really offered this model in Japan. Volvo 5 cyclinder engines are reliable as far as I'm aware...... any reason I shouldn't do it?
