Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2009 model year cars.
- D5 fuel dilution recalls - rising oil, held idle, engine run-onSerious
DVSA’s V70 recall lists for 2008-2010 cars record that the engine oil level may rise and that the engine speed can be maintained or increased after the throttle is released, with the engine in extreme cases continuing to run after switch-off - the five-cylinder diesel dilution story repeated across the P2/P3 Volvos. Auto Express notes the V70 was recalled on a number of occasions over its life. On the buyer side: check the dipstick before the drive, confirm the recall remedies are discharged, and avoid school-run-only histories.
- Sunroof drain elbows flooding footwellsModerate
The Owners' Club has V70 threads of post-rain sloshing and rear footwells that fill like a well, and FnF’s Volvo drain guide explains the mechanical cause across the S80/V70/XC70 generation: front drains run through a 90-degree elbow behind the front wheels that clogs or whose tube slips off, and the rear drains discharge into the trunk area. Water in the sill soaks connectors and amplifiers, so the true cost of a blocked drain is measured in electrics, not carpet. Test all four drains before signing.
