Seller's Notes

This Volvo V70 R is a desirable all-wheel-drive performance estate, reported to have had just two owners from new. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.3-litre inline-five, delivering around 184kW to all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. This example has covered approximately 92,300 kilometres from new, which is supported by an odometer verification certificate. The vehicle was originally registered in Japan and is now offered for sale in New South Wales, Australia, where it passed the Compliance process in August 2025. Build year: 1998 The car is finished in Black Stone, and the cabin is trimmed in a combination of black leather and navy-blue Alcantara complete with diamond-stitched seat centres, wooden inlays, and stainless-steel kick plates. It rides on a set of 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. Equipment includes privacy glass, a sunroof, electrically adjustable front seats, cruise control, air conditioning, and a stereo with 3-disc changer. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s manual, export certificate, compliance certificate, odometer inspection certificate, Japanese CAR VX report, and blue slip. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a few small paint marks on bonnet and roof, a localised paint repair on the front bumper, peeling paint on the top of one of the side mirrors, scratching on the centre console switchgear, the sunroof surround being scruffy and needing a new seal - a common fault, and a sagging headliner at drivers-side corner. The boot struts are weak, the radio is locked and the code is unknown, the air conditioning temperatures are weak, and the ignition barrel is loose but does not affect starting or functionality. The seller states that the car was last serviced in February 2026 at 92,300 kilometres. Prior to this, the seller states that services were carried out in February 2023 at 89,700 kilometres and February 2021 at 87,600 kilometres. The Volvo V70 R AWD is a capable and understated modern classic performance estate, celebrated for its ideal blend of practicality and power. This example is reported to have had only two owners, and whilst the new keeper may wish to rectify a few minor issues in due course, it is sure to impress as a versatile and highly usable daily driver or family hauler.
