Default Over Filled Oil ?

Hi there, i've just bought a 3nd hand D5 MY07 185bhp, checked the Oil level and its showing very high (cold), way above the lines with 'XXXXX' between them (am guessing this is the min/max range?)

Is this a problem? why would anyone overfill the oil ? its not cheap!

I read there are some problems with earlier cars with D5 engine and defective seal - I don't know if there is leakage as not had it long enough.

Its under warranty still, so am I best going to dealer?

thanks

volvo newbie, my first ever!
