Any car can break down-even brand new ones-take sensible steps[i.e. check fluid levels,tyre pressures etc]prior to setting off and it should be fine.Possibly carry a spare fan belt in the boot-although a quick look over of this as part of your pre-trip checks should be fine-and enjoy your trip.I would quite happily jump in either of my Volvos[albeit they're newer than yours at 1995 and 2000]and drive them anywhere without hesitation.I'm no "boy racer" but am happy to keep up with the traffic and stop if in need of washroom facilities/a cup of coffee/both.
