2008 Volvo V70: what owners report

• On the third generation, the axle suspension and steering show defects more often than average at the TÜV, largely because many cars cover huge distances.2007–2016
• 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
• A carsguide used-car review says some early third-generation engines used excessive oil, in the worst cases replaced under warranty, and that the problem was reportedly solved by the 2012 model.2008–2011
• UK owners of 2002-2011 cars report electrical faults most often, along with squeaks, rattles and an automatic gearbox some find slow to kick down.2002–2011
