Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1987 Volvo was purchased new by the seller and her husband. It has been a reliable vehicle with relatively low mileage and a history file documenting its upkeep. The seller is now parting with it due to personal circumstances.

Condition 

6

Based on the description, the car seems to have been well-maintained and reliably used by the same owners since new in 1987. It's described as a 'faithful workhorse' with relatively low mileage due to not being the sole vehicle. The presence of a history file with accumulated service records suggests care. The description notes the car's reliability and the recent MOT, but lacks detail on current cosmetic or mechanical condition. Lacking details, it is hard to assess, but I will assume Good condition.

Description

Description from The Vendor: My Husband and I bought this car new in 1987.

He was the registered keeper of it up until he died in 2016, whereupon he had transferred it to my name.

It has been a faithful workhorse with relatively low mileage down to the fact it was never our sole vehicle for a good many of the years since we purchased her.

Sadly I must now pass it on.

It has been solidly reliable and reassuring as you would expect of a Volvo.

The history file has documents for Insurances, MOT’s and services accumulated during our time of ownership.

The last MOT was carried out by DD services of Godstone, Surrey on 1st June 2022.
