Like David, I use my Feb. 2000 V70 on a daily basis. They're safe, comfortable and reliable cars. In some respects, I prefer my car to a newer one. I'm not paranoid about parking it in supermarket car parks, for example.
My own V70, with close to 130.000 miles up, has just this week passed its third MOT in my ownership with no more than a little attention to the handbrake. I know people with much newer cars who spend far more on their MOTs than I do.
Regards, John.
