Unfortunately your next Volvo is from the era when Ford's cost cutting was biting hard and the lovely, clear backlit dials from your V50 are now a thing of the past.

I find the black, front lit dials on the earlier XC/V70 models much easier to read than the blue/silver ones of later models.

It is sometimes possible to change the DIM (driver information module) but due to software differences there's always a risk of issues when interchanging parts from different model years. Also it can cause errors to be logged which you will need VIDA to reset - do not turn the ignition on with the unit disconnected.

FYI the mileage is stored on the DIM so the display will have the mileage from the doner car. Your cars' actually mileage will still be correctly stored in CEM but you will need VIDA to read it.
