I cannot comment on the gearbox as my V70 09 D5 is manual, with regards to the engine I would not worry if it has been serviced to schedule regularly as mine is currently on 444,000 miles.If it wasn't for the aux Tensioner recently seizing a few hundred miles before its 54000 interval replacement time and a piece of the belt taking off the Cambelt then I have had no problems at all. Cost me £2000 to replace the head but love the car and due to other financial circumstances was unable to spend any more even if I wanted to replace it with newer model. I know more recent recommendation is only to change the Aux belt at 54000 but going on my experience I would have tensioner changed as well and maybe before 54000.
