WARNING Volvo second hand cars

Having driven a Vauxhaul for 140,000 miles, to then have the DMF (dual mass flywheel) fail on a Volvo at 40,000 miles is unacceptable performance for a major transmission component ~ it will cost £1,200-£1,500 to put right.

In Volvo's words they refuse to publicise component failure rates, but willing to contribute to the repairs of those with new cars and serviced by Volvo Dealers.

I wonder if this is a significant problem for the industry?

Second buyers - from my experience don't be fooled by the margue.
