Seems like effortless acceleration to 160, and not so much diesel clatter either ! amazing for a car that's done 375,000 km 🥂👍

@@Netlife-001 Even better, which works out to around 260,000 miles ! These cars are made to last, just wonder if the newer Volvos are made to last as long ?

@@Colin623 I don't know but that volvo is with a Volkswagen 2.5 tdi engine. It's basically a vw AEL engine :)

450k is quite a lot. Looks like a decent buy to me.
