Alarm was just last night so no idea why that happened (but I have already read many a forum post on the subject), and satnav, well, might just rip that out and put cup holders there instead!!
So what else is the thing likely to present me with?

Unfortunate, but probably no more than any other car brand or model ....
most issues on previously owned cars are down to poor "love care and attention" esp if they were leased/company cars etc IMO.
As is commonly said in these and other Volvo forums, these are NOT inexpensive cars to own nor run.
Dont lose faith, and work through the issues systematically and as you have already done read the forums.
Looked after the Phase 1 XC90 is an incredible car and if required do starship mileages but they really require to be looked after.
My opinion, hope it helps
