Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2004 model year cars.
- Angle gear and Haldex AWD failureSerious
The XC70 can quietly lose drive to the rear axle through worn angle gears, DEM faults or neglected Haldex servicing.
- AW55 automatic gearbox flareSerious
The weight of the XC70 exposes any neglect in the five-speed auto, which can flare, thump or feel lazy once warm.
- Rear self-levelling suspension wearModerate
Many XC70s use expensive rear dampers and associated hardware that tire with age, leaving the car sagging, bouncy or noisy over broken roads.
