ShadeTec.

Has it been used as a tow car - might want to check out the clutch release bearing IF manual.
Rear suspension bush I understand can be an issue too (FORD influence if not an actual bit) More expensive to buy than std V70 but appear to hold their values better ( judging by P2 prices).

Haldex system can be troublesome - but probably due to Volvo claim ( like auto boxes) its a non serviceable item, and therefore isn't serviced (oil and filter ) hahahaha

Get a good one and owners seem to love them for life - my take from being a long standing member here.

Cheers
