Default 2016 XC60 T6 AWD R Design Polestar - tempting!

Saw a advert today for a local car with full Volvo dealer service history
2016 Volvo XC60 T6 Awd so a turbo+supercharged petrol VEA engine. Not a common spec in NZ, and i'm not even sure if that spec was available in the UK on the Mark 1 XC60s ?

I've attached the advert link below but when the item sells then the link will fail.

www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/volvo/xc60/listing/4539231556

The advert includes the full dealer history, and in 210,000km ignoring the usual brakes and tyres stuff I note that they've had a driveshaft vibration issue, oil leak at front of engine, a replacement for a leaking catalytic converter and turtle light (lack of power) issue.

The car being the wrong colour puts me off though - I avoid grey and black cars due to their higher propensity to be involved in accidents, due to being less visible. (Check the stats on Google!)

Also, I suspect being both turbo and supercharged plus Poletsar possibly makes the engine a bit more highly strung and liable for expensive problems as it ages...
