Buying Tips for the 2015 Volvo S70

Treat a spotless S70 with suspicion - lift the sill trims and check the rear arches before anything else, because the P80 cars rot where you cannot see them.
On automatics, drive off from cold and confirm 2-3 and 3-4 shifts are smooth and prompt; flare and harshness is the AW-series valve body telling you its price.
Check the ignition system as a set: distributor cap, rotor, HT leads and coil condition decide how the car runs at 15 years-plus age.
Verify the service history covers timing belt and tensioner changes; the parts are cheap for a specialist but a snapped belt is an engine replacement.
Look for the 1999 facelift details (revised grille badge and indicators) and dual-stage side airbags if you want the later specification.
