Just got the wife's twenty year old Corsa back from MoT test. Phone call: Failed on-'middle rear seat belt not retracting'. I asked if it was trapped in the seat as I'd folded it down on a tip run recently and had never had anyone on the middle seat in the thirteen years we owned it. . 'We can't check that." Attended and they'd produced a Fail and a Pass certificate. Seat belt needed a tug to release. Twenty five years police service and I assure you that if you knew what Police cars went through you'd never buy one. If you feel the need I'd remove the seats and carpets, steam clean and disinfect the lot.

@davidkmatthews 4 месяца назад

These early Mk 3 V70s and XC70s had a design fault with the pipe between the turbo and the intercooler, in that they would split (or even fall off altogether). The car then goes into "limp home" mode . My own MY2009 V70 had that problem at around 50k miles and it wouldn't go above about 40mph. So it might just be worth checking for that before assuming that the turbo itself is blown.

@williamstrachan 3 месяца назад

+1 on that. The pipe rubs on something and splits, then you get a MAF sensor error on the OBDII and limp mode. Pain in the arse. Replaced the hose on mine (2012 D3) twice now, first time with a pattern part that was significantly cheaper than OEM, and then almost exactly a year later with an OEM one... because the pattern one split.

I remember that vehicle from when I was in Roads Policing in West Yorkshire Police. I retired in 2016 but if I recall correctly it was a pool car which would explain the relatively low mileage.

My mate took his police van in and explained that the drivers footwell kept filling up with water (there was a nice puddle in there at the time). Eric, the mechanic, took the rubber mat out then produce a hammer and chisel and put a hole in the footwell. He looked rather pleased as the water poured out. When my mate related the story to us we were all in tears because we all knew, of course, that any water on the road surface would come straight up through the hole. And it did.

It made me think back to when I heard that ex police cars are a favourite auction car to be clocked as they do not require mots when owned by the police so there is oftenno records. I can not remember the channel, but I've even seen another car youtuber doing a video on it a year or two ago where the auction listed the milage at around 200k and later the same car was on a dealer forecourt with something like 60k on it. It made me wonder if this had actually done more miles until you found all that history. Anyway, great videos, I love it when you save a good car. But I guess you can't save them all 👍

@mypuppydogtizzy1058 4 месяца назад

a lot of X police cars are clocked, they don't need an MOT and some County's police send them to auctions that they know don't mention the miles, so dealers can clock them without any records to catch them outi heard this on the radio a while back so worth looking into to see if anythings changed

when it comes to police cars, its not just miles, its how many hours spent idling that is a factor.

A police officer pulled over an elderly lady driver on routine check, on winding down her passengers side window the officer noticed a colt 45 revolver in the ladies bag on the seat, He said "hi madame, do you realise what you have in your bag?" " yes sir "she replied and I have a browning pistol in my pocket and a 12 bore shotgun on the back seat covered with that blanket!" "So what are you afraid of?" asked the officer?? She replied " absolutely nothing sir!!".....🤣🤣🤣....

From 2007, these were built on a Ford platform. The whole reason for buying a Volvo, mechanical durability, just disappeared. The electronics were always garbage but the mechanical strength made MOTs a totally stress free experience and properly serviced engines ran forever.

I had a silver 2005 Volvo S40 Sport years ago and absolutely loved the car - except for the water travelling down the A pillar from the sunroof and eventually pooling in the rear footwells. It was a problem that could never be sorted satisfactorily and I ended up one day in a downpour with the A pillar cover removed and a waterfall lashing down on my right knee. It’s perhaps prophetic that the S40 ended its life submerged in flood water… just after I’d had the sunroof fixed. Wonderful.

There's no way thats only done 105k miles. I'd bet a kings ransom that thing's been clocked. In Police use it would have done 100k a year, not 100k over 5 years. Edit. Wrote this before he got to the service book. Good thing nobody took me up on that bet!

@MatthewJBD 4 месяца назад

It probably has.

@thefiestaguy8831 4 месяца назад

100k a year is far fetched. Maybe in the counties it's a bit closer to that but I'd still say 100k a year is a bit much. I'm in the Met, most of our vehicles that have done around 140k-150k are about 3 years old give or take, some are even 4 years old. Not every single police vehicle is used all the time, sometimes there are more officers than vehicles. And sometimes there are perhaps 20 vehicles but literally just 10 officers on shift due to a massive "Aid uplift" in central London for a protest, or some other high profile event in which they take a load of response team officers and send them up town.

@AWMJoeyjoejoe 4 месяца назад

@@thefiestaguy8831Thanks for the insights. Do you still consider 100k over 5 years a bit low? Surely it should be more than that.

Been owned privately since approx 2014 All the MOT since then And all the service history Seems as though the last owner had it long term, and only used it to take dog to local park In this case 105,000 miles is possibly legit…

@thefiestaguy8831 4 месяца назад

@@AWMJoeyjoejoe It depends to be honest. If this is a county force, it's not unreasonable. There's nothing to say this was a "regular response car" and it might have been a driver training car, or a "spare" old car that's rarely used. We used to have an old 66 reg Ford Focus 1 litre ecoboost sat in the back of our nick... the start of the shift everyone rushed to get the newer and nicer cars, meanwhile I didn't give two figs about what I drove so I just grabbed the Focus a lot of the time. Manual 1 litre but it was actually quite punchy at 125 bhp for a big estate car that's not too bad. We're also in a densely populated area so you really can't get up to much speed anyway before you're inevitably slowing down again. Despite that car being typically 2-3 years older than most of the other fleet the mileage was actually around 20k or so less than the newer cars.

At least in Sweden they have beefier suspension components and stuff like that.

@thefiestaguy8831 4 месяца назад

No. As a UK officer they are not, not for the most part. None of the vehicles are given extra performance modifications.... the only modifications made are for weight bearing. I.e Firearms vehicles (Typically a BMW X5 or Volvo XC90) would be given upgraded suspension, due to the amount of kit including a literal gun safe built into one of the rear passenger seats which stores 3 RIFLES plus ammunition. That's before you add in all the other kit, such as shields, each officer's kit bags (mine weight 20kg+ at one point and i'm not even firearms).

Police cars don’t ever go through insurance after an accident. The excess on a police policy is more than any cars worth so you’d never see recorded damage. We had some cars that had been written off 4 or 5 times and rebuilt.

At least in Sweden, Volvo police & taxi cars are taxi/police spec (same spec except engine choice) with stronger springs, a plate under the gearbox, rims that can strike a curb at at least 30mph, bigger battery, and only either D5 AWD (215hp) or T6 AWD (300hp) and automatic gearbox. And in Sweden, Volvos don't have gearbox flushing in their service plan at all, but police & taxi have every 37k miles. And often for police cars the gearbox has been so abused they are often changed close to end of service and it's all well documented from Volvo's mechanics.

You bought a 15YO Diesel car with only just over 100k miles with a reasonable body and interior, for it's age, and you made a video just winging for nearly half an hour?! Also, I don't know where you get your parts from but the prices you quoted seem very high. Automatics are less reliable? Surely the whole drive chain and suspension is less vulnerable to driver abuse? Yes, brakes have a harder time but they are much cheaper than clutch/gearbox renewal.
