• Kinda bored of driving our Berlingo down the M1 for 5 hours, it's just a bit too agricultural sometimes.

    Am I asking for trouble buying a 2013 XC70 which has 165k miles? Private seller has owned it for 10 years and says its full (non dealer) service history.

    probably trouble.

    you could get lucky and get a few years out of it without any big bills, but odds are likely to be against this outcome.

  • Get something Japanese, hice little honda accord or Mazda.

  • Keep looking at Berlingo but they are road van.

    As for trouble, is it a front wheel or 4wheel drive - have the fluids been changed regularly. If any one say sealed for life - tell them politely to go fuck themselves. They are wrong and nothing they say can be trusted.

    Is it a belt or a chain cam drive. Belt changes done on time mileage?
    Look on MOT see if has been work and then the work done

    Read the seller, if it is cheap enough why not.

  • I’ve got a 2004 v50 2.4 auto with 150 ish on the clock.
    It will shit the bed at some point I’m sure.

    Edit : 118 not 150
