- ✓AWD should be proven with servicing and a specialist scan, not assumed because the tyres match
- ✓Automatic cars need the same hot-and-cold gearbox test as any other P2 Volvo because XC70 weight does them no favours
- ✓Listen for rear-end knocks or sagging because self-levelling suspension parts are expensive compared with a normal V70
- ✓A tidy, correctly serviced D5 is usually a safer used buy than a cheap petrol AWD car with no Haldex history
