This is mainly felt when turning into a parking space or onto/off the drive.

It's just sailed through the the MOT and it's been doing it for as long as I can remember. Drives perfect at all other times, no fault codes or anything else.

Any ideas?
Yes a characteristic , obviously Volvo wanted as tight a steering lock they could get .. It happens more with tyres that are wider than the std 235 and also when they are worn flat and the tread blocks can no longer flex .
