Displaying a few minor battle scars, but looking like it could comfortably double its existing indicated total mileage of 105,372, ‘N856 KRO’ has been in its current ownership for just under a year, prior to which it was apparently the property of an engineer who ‘maintained it meticulously’.

We are informed that during his tenure the suspension, braking system, air conditioning and other items all received attention as required, and the vendor nowadays classes the engine and automatic transmission as ‘good to excellent’, the five-door bodywork and black leather interior trim as ‘good’ and the silver paintwork as ‘average to good’.

He adds that the Volvo ‘starts, runs and stops as it should’ and is only parting with the car as he needs something with a higher seating position.

This eminently practical vehicle is now offered complete with full length roof rails, tow hook, glass sun roof, headlamp wash/wipe and integral radio/cassette system.
