And how many miles can one expect from this Volvo model (diesel or petrol )?
The record is 474k on a 2.0na petrol.

There's a fair list of stuff I've replaced, all genuine Volvo where possible, big long distance stuff like front suspension came from a reliable beakers, small stuff I buy new. I'll pop back with my full list in a sec. I reckon parts & labour have cost me £1000 in total since purchase including servicing.

I should add that mine has the best service history I've ever seen on any car. Every receipt since new.

The last V40 popped the turbo and that was £800 in one go. The most annoying thing about that was that it was still in warranty, but I didn't realise.
