I'll bet the local garage is sorry he sold it.

I'll bet the local garage is sorry he sold kicked it. 

You could say it was a probate sale.

You only get what you pay 
so for a  sub £100 service they let their gimp play with your motor for 30 minutes 
He`s trained to booger-up & over-tighten the sump plug &  then charge you for a new one

The big wad of receipts, inc a bill for £750ish last July for a full service and other consumables, the fact it's wearing premium tyres and the general good condition of the car, tells me that it's probably been pretty well looked after. 

No, it means the previous owner paid whatever the garage thought they could get away with. Definitely not the same thing

100% agree ,always worth checking work has been done ,even if there's big bills or 12 months MOT 

Just going through the receipts and the V70 has had £1787.85 spent on it in the last 12 months! 

That's for a nsr caliper, rear brake shoes, discs and pads all round, brake fluid change, a track rod end, alignment, a couple of services and other sundries like screenwash/bulbs etc! 

Won't that N/s rear caliper melt if it's made of solid gold 

I'll bet the local garage is sorry he sold kicked it.

died of shock when he got the garage bill 

just check everything over ,but it sounds like you found a good,well looked after one

Perhaps, but IMHO you're just as likely to get said gimp in a main stealer.

My Dad had a Volvo company car years ago. It was always serviced at great expense by a main dealer. He sold it on to a car dealer who he knew quite well. A couple of days after purchasing it, and about 2 weeks after a main dealer service, the car dealer was cruising along the M3 when the oil light came on and the view through the rear window was completely obscured.

He got it recovered and discovered the sump plug thread completely stripped and a load of PTFE tape hanging from the hole.

You learn something everyday. I really have led a sheltered life.
