Default S60/V60 Buyers guide?

Hi All,

I'm considering a 2011(ish) S60 or V60 with the 5 cylinder 2.0 diesel.
I've never had a Volvo before so I don't know what to look out for when buying.
Is there a buyers guide on the forum? I've tried searching but can't anything for these models.

Are these models generally fairly reliable?

I've had a 2005 diesel Toyota for the past 5 years so I'm used to minimal mechanical issues and any problems that arise are usually dealt with by myself or the local mechanic.
Also, are Volvo parts expensive and is a trip to the dealers usually required to diagnose most issues due to all the electronics/software?
I've read a few stories on here regarding software issues and it has made me a little more cautious of buying one!

Thanks in advance for any advice.
