Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Volvo 740 GL, a one-family-owned classic with only 66,200 miles, presents a unique opportunity for collectors. It features a 2.0 petrol engine, automatic transmission, and period interior, though it has an unusual ignition switch and some MOT advisories.
Condition
6
While the car has low mileage and appears well-maintained, the presence of an aftermarket ignition toggle switch and some recorded advisories on MOTs suggest it's not in pristine condition. The service history is not complete, with a gap between 1994 and 2019, indicating some level of deferred maintenance.
