2001 Volvo V70: what owners report

• From about the sixth year, roughly a quarter of second-generation cars failed the German TÜV, mostly on worn tie-rod ends and steering joints.2000–2007
• On cars up to 2008, ignition locks tended to stick and turbochargers failed; porous charge-air hoses also cause power loss on the second generation.2000–2008
• On the second generation the rear silencer rusts from about year five, and water can get into the wiring harness under the wipers.2000–2007
• German used-car testers found the second-generation V70 still driving almost like new beyond 200,000 km, with generous space, comfortable seats and good sound insulation.2000–2007
