The P3 V70 isn't quite the best Volvo made as it's got a few Ford bits on it but yes 200k is not just achievable - it's routine for many. The D5 is Volvo's own engine with Volvo's own gearbox (manual) or a Aisin one (Auto).

Try and get one with full dealer history, there are a few out there. If it's an auto - get the gearbox fluid changed (cost circa £250) then just stick to normal servicing - maybe drop the interval to 15k.

You should easily get to 200k, but you might have a few wheel bearings and suspension bushes along the way.

There's a few around so look for a later car with Sensus navigation rather than the old pop up Sat Nav and Xenon headlights (standard on LUX models) are definitely worth having.
