Those are the only little niggles you'll see but add ignition ring onto that, the odd door module fault if locks or windows don't work (usually fixed with a hammer :P) and the odd squeak from the interior trim.

My S40 has suffered with the boot not opening but it was the microswitch, they are about a tenner from Volvo, a door lock doesn't work and will need replacing before long, and the C30 has had a pair of struts, springs and wheel bearings at 95k miles.

Agree with above: Boot micro-switch, top strut mounts at around 100k, odd rattles and squeaks from interior, 6CD auto changer gone doolally (£600!).

Mine chews through front tyres but that probably isn't helped by my driving.

Mechanically/engine wise - bulletproof.
