It's a 2005 car, but you never know if the previous owner didn't bother getting the fixes.

Yes, with the chassis number they can tell you if you have any outstanding 'Recalls' that are available for your particular car.
Recalls are however different to 'Warranty' just for clarity.
Warranty work is for things that go wrong with a vehicle within a certain period - Volvo normal warranty period being 3yrs. There are other manufacturers that offer better warranties such as Kia who give 7yr warranties on new vehicles.
Recalls are things that go wrong with the vehicle that are either safety related or due to poor manufacturing and Volvo has decided to do a recall on the part/parts affected. Recalls when issued are not time/mileage related unlike Warranty work.
