Are the headlights the same as the V70? I have zero problems with the headlamps in my estate, if they're kept clean Rural roads and A roads. They're better than any of my other cars.
Buy it… I have both a C30 and a C70 with the D5 and have a Polestar map on the C30, they’re smooth and strong engines and really don’t give much away to a petrol engine. Turbo lag is a none issue and they deliver power evenly. Mileage, in reality on both cars is 35mpg average but you can get 55mpg on a run if you’re being sensible. Timing belt replacements and clutches are a little more expensive than average, but they have a long service life and the one you’re looking at is new, so won’t need attention for 8 years or so. The most annoying issue is the blower damper motors, they can fail, and it’s supposedly a dashboard out job to replace them, and the seats split on the bolsters. That aside, they’re built like tanks… and the one with the map will have a stock focus ST or Golf GTI in the traffic light Grand Prix.110K, but new engine last year. Proper new engine, not scrap-yard replacement.
Reason for sale is expected baby in a few months ... Good enough reason.

Well, what's the verdict? Have you bought it?I cannot afford to blow money on a disaster waiting to happen, where it can be avoided.
I am tiring of running cars with only eighteen months of life left.
The 2 litre engine can, I hear, be prone to EGR problems. I think there’s a fix so it would be worth knowing if that’s been addressed. Not sure if the details but the VOC forum will have more knowledge.
OP says it’s the 2 litre four pot. Prior to that, there was an assumption it was the five pot.It'll be a 5-pot 2.4 in the D5 of that age. Bombproof.
