I am toying with the idea of making enquiries into this. Its been for sale for a while which is not a great sign.

Just wondering if it belongs to someone here or it's passed through someones possession at some point. It's 100 miles away so Prior Preparation etc

Reg - M ?56 MTF

Doesn't look/sound too bad....

Don't like the black wheels.

Been off the road for a while according to MOT history site, which may not be a big deal as long as sufficient work has been done on it..took a while to fix the 'oil leak' so maybe worth checking out what that was (is??)

Hope it's not been parked on that grass for too long.

Volvos stand up to it better than most, but not for ever.

Oil leak is suitably vague.

What about the airbag light? Cheap dodgy connection or expensive replacement?
