A very fair and valid point dme123, although it’s relatively reasonable mileage for its age, has full history and taking into consideration that I’ve had it through a Volvo workshop for a gearbox oil change and flush earlier this year, I guess it’s foolish to ignore the advice set out by the manufacturer. I love the way the car drives as it is and, tbf it returns good MPG, nearly 50 mpg, due to the driving I’m doing and goes like a scolded cat when I need it to it makes sense not to let curiosity get the better of me. That aside it looks like it might have to make way for a newer car shortly anyway as circumstance changes may force it, which is quite disappointing as I’ve really warmed to it recently having previously generally overlooked the C30/S40/V50’s thinking they wouldn’t be as good as the larger Volvo’s of the era... such a mistake that was!
