Remember this is not typical of the many 10's of thousands of volvos out there on the road , the troublesome ones congregate here and give a false impression , ... not much is down to built in problems , many cars here are older and run on a shoestring and it seems a lot of people cant afford to run them and maintain them properly ...
Take a look at the honda forums , i'm sure it is similar :-) and mk 5 ford mondeos with their new version of the 2.0 diesel which volvo used to have , So many more problems now .
There are about 50% more honda dealers than volvo in the UK and hondas 2.2% ( 2018 of which 40% are Jazz ) share of the UK market is less than volvo's 2.8 % ( to date ) That probably reflects the true situation .
