These barn find videos are brilliant. Would love to see the follow up after the servicing and what was needed.

You are definitely on to something here. I think us car fans love to see neglected machinery given some new life. I would love to see the Volvo brought back to showroom condition but appreciate that you’re paying the bill. I am also keen to see your follow up with the Volvo and any other type of car rescue. Your reviews are great and this type of video can only further boost your channel.

V50 with the legendary 2.4 D5 is a rare thing. Most V50s are either 2.0d or the eco 1.6d . 150K+ miles... that's only just run in for a D5. Looks like a SE LUX speck with decent colour combo. Get the windscreen checked though Matt. They are well known for de-bonding along the top edge and letting water inside. It'll explain the excessive condensation & mould found inside this V50. Volvo UK know all about this issue and if you speak to them nicely they will get it re bonded FOC, it that still has the original windscreen in place. Also being the D5 (185 PS) engine get the Aux belt & tensioner changed ASAP as they are known to snap prematurely. Volvo had a recall few years back on these and halved their service life down to 54K miles intervals. Currently there's a Volvo re call on both front seat belt anchor points... worth getting that done as well.

Hi Mat , I owned the same car with 80,000 miles it was bullet proof ,quick and responsive ! Great engines 👍

Thanks Matt great video. Some of these cars have problems with poor bonding of the windscreen at the factory. This is a source of water ingress. Also suspect sunroof drain holes and tubing in the A pillars. Water sloshing side to side in front of the driver is water that has leaked into a horizontal crossmember on the bulkhead beneath the screen. Volvo has a simple diy fix listed in their service manual (drill holes under the wheel arches basically). Sorry that’s long....

Fascinating video. I really enjoy watching these cars brought back with a bit of care and attention. And, more importantly, many many congrats on100k subscribers. Thoroughly well deserved.

You should do more of these. Just please complete each project in a single episode it's way more satisfying to watch.

Production values have gone up significantly Matt! 😮👍🏻👏🏻

Looks like most of the cars we used to go and pick up- usually HP snatch backs!! I saw a Merc 280 Pillarless coupe (1972) in a similar state which came in to my friends car lot. Back in 1980. I got my Mum to buy it as a surprise for my Dad. We still have the car- paid £2k back then and its in really good original condition. Now thats how to buy cars-get 40 years of motoring out of it and then have a car thats worth 15-20 X what you paid for it! Great vid, more please and the BATS!

Car rescue missions are always interesting to watch. I wish this video were longer. For example the detailing would have been satisfying to see.

I LOVE this new format. I don't know what these cost, but there has to be money in that if you can keep the prep costs down and catalogue the work you're doing to get it back to a usable standard.

Love the V50, i’ve got one myself with the D5. Common problem with the sunroof on these would be the drain tubes going down the A and B pillars. there’s like 3 or 4 different connections on each corner when the tubing can become perished and expand over time which separates the connections, which leads to rain water leaking into the cabin

I agree with MM here, leaks around sunroof may cause water to flow down under the rear seats, hence the sloshing sound Matt mentioned. Saw another Volvo where the screen leaked down the A post and ruined the computers behind the accelerator pedal, and caused rust issue.

I'd put my money on the vibration being an engine mount. They normally need swapping out on the larger V70s and Xc90s at that mileage - the D5 is a sizable unit for a V50. 👍
