Hello and welcome to V70 ownership. I'm new to Volvo too, but so far so good for a 15 year old car.

With just one owner and what sounds like a fairly consistent service history you should be well placed - assuming that the servicing has been properly carried out.

Advice to get cam belt, aux belt and tensioner done is regularly quoted for reliability. Info on here suggests that the aux belt is every bit as important as the cambelt because if it fails it can throw debris into the path of the cam belt causing that to fail.

Likewise transmission fluid change is recommended by many. Some go for full flush, others for one or more dump and refill. Lots of info on here and on YouTube.

Other than that, regular oil and filter changes using good quality parts and fluids should give you happy motoring! No point buying a quality car and fitting poor quality parts. Good luck!
