Model years to avoid

Volvo V70

What it says about you

Opinion

The definitive Volvo estate — square, safe, enormous inside. Somebody's childhood happened in the back of one.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

6 model years on record, 75 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

Every year

  1. 2010 3 recalls 4 complaints
  2. 2009 3 recalls 4 complaints
  3. 2008 4 recalls 11 complaints
  4. 2007 2 recalls 11 complaints
  5. 2006 4 recalls 24 complaints
  6. 2005 4 recalls 21 complaints
