Basic information and history

VOLVO V70 XC70 – A classic Swedish station wagon icon with a unique history!

The Volvo V70 and XC70 from the late 90s combine robustness, comfort and safety in a way that many enthusiasts appreciate – and this car is no exception. For those of you looking for a quality Swedish build with real character, we are pleased to present this well-preserved example from 2000 now for sale at Bidders Highway.

This car was delivered new in Sweden on November 19, 1999 and has only had three owners . The first owner, a lady born in 1944, kept the car until 2021, and it was always looked after respectfully and lovingly. The next owner, a Volvo employee, then serviced the car from new for the representative and bought it herself when she stopped driving. The car has basically never been used on winter roads for the first two decades – and has always been stored in a garage .

The current odometer reading is only 79,000 km – and this can be guaranteed. This is a remarkably low figure for a car of this model year and speaks volumes about the economical use. All documentation for the car has been preserved, including service book and receipts.

Fun fact: According to the previous owner, "no one" has sat in the back seat, the car has never been driven in the winter, and the previous owner had it as a piece of furniture and only used it sporadically.
