My parents bought one of these new in 2005. 2.0L in silver with a black leather interior and large alloys (can’t remember the sizing).

I remember at 10 years old my brother and I thinking it was a spaceship compared to our old rusting Passat they’d traded in. We used to take it down to South Wales, across the channel to France and everywhere else in between, full to the brim on camping trips. Great memories of that car and it never once let us down.

After 15 years of solid use they gave it to my elder brother who has used it to commute up to Scotland from Derbyshire and back on a weekly basis for the last 3 years. Still runs like a dream.

I got inspired by your trip to Switzerland with XC70 and took my V50 from 2008 2.5l petrol for 6000km trip from Lithuania to Belgium, France, Switzerland and back. Held out perfectly. 171000 miles on dial still running nicely.

No matter what YT channel I am watching, if I see a new High Peak Autos video show up in the new post list, I have got to watch it ...Immediately! It's testament to your personality, dedication to business and generally cheering us all up with your vids. Thank You👍🙂

I can tell you from experience that the V50 is an awesome car, and i’m lucky to own one with the D5 manual as it’s a rare spec. I’m often doing long distance drives and towing and it never skips a beat. It’s not a massive car but it’s still an estate and for my usage it’s very practical. Underrated car in my opinion

[cabottaxi]

Never fails to amaze me that sellers can't be bothered to clean a car before selling it on to a dealer.

[angusnz]

One thing I envy the English with…most of your cars appear to be manual. Here in NZ a manual is worth MORE purely for rarity…everything is auto. Brought a new motorhome 3 years ago and had to wait for import delivery as I insisted on manual. I like it from a reliability and control side…changing gears aint the chore many think it is

Solid as a Panzer, had Volvos for years, never, touch wood, been let down, from 2007 to now every one has been brilliant.

I've owned a 2006 V50 T5 awd with 280kkm as a (Finnish) winter beater for 1.5 years now. It's a gem, love it!

Good to hear you're still calling it "Twitter" - never surrender!

Had a bad day. Saw this and thank you made my evening a million times better. :)

I once brought a 13 year old 850 estate. He had spent £2k on a new Ac system, £500 on a new wiper assembly and £400 on a new windscreen at a Volvo dealer before selling it to me 3 months later. That was on top of full main dealer service history, and thousands more in receipts. I’ve always brought second hand Volvo’s since, people generally keep them immaculately.

Love my V50. Got mine in Nov 2022. 2009 2.0D with only 25K miles! Stunning cars, drive very well, safe. Look great and reliable.

Your happy, and your customer is getting a good honest rig. Once again you have let your heart rule your head, but kudos to you for doing this Sir.

[davek]

I love Volvo’s, great looking, well built, decent to drive, not too ostentatious just quietly understated and in my experience have really good quality paintwork. This looked mint from Judy a quick wash and clean out which is testament to how good they are as everyday cars. Can’t deny though I’d have golfed to have seen it after you’d “massively overspent”! Great vid as always 👍🏻

[mrdeeds]

Always good to see a clean Volvo going to new/younger people starting up in life!

Love this one, I have as my second car a 54 plate V50 with about 130k on it, mechanic friend says the body is still solid, it does have the winter pack and the heated seats are warm really quickly, great car and I love it. I also had the little bird bath, there is a little drain hole in that panel somewhere I discovered.

[westendwatch]

Matt plays some of the hits including " got its original plates", "just wants a good old clean ", " parcel shelf intact ! " 🙂 These lucky dip car discovery videos are great content - I could watch one every day : always something different !

[Rabscuttle]

What a good buy - both for you and your customer, though I think I might have tried to get a bit more from them, given the condition and history, but a profit is a profit and not to be sniffed at! 👍

[stanelder]

Always loved the V50 - super stylish and just big enough to be really useful.

I have a 2008 2.0d without DPF. They existed with and without DPF, probably depending on which market it was made for. Mine is made in Belgium- Summum equipment, dynaudio, bluetooth, xenon, heated seats, memory seats, front-rear sensors, currently 383, 000 km. I replaced the turbine, wheel bearing, alternator, rear shock absorbers and clutch. I kind of got used to it, I'll have it as long as possible.
