Default Is it getting too expensive?

I have an xc90 59 plate 87k on clock. I took it to indi Volvo garage to find out what needed sorting.

1) swirl arm disconnected so needs fixing. Was fixed about 2 years ago clearly bodge job. 400 kit plus fitting
2) needs new front discs and pads. Replaced around 1 and half ago. 160 plus fitting
3) needs two front tyres. Excessive inner wear. Replaced 1 and half ago. 170 for budget tyres. Also had alignment done when had tyres done but clearly not done well.
4) replacement wheel bearing 85 quid

Then suggested Haldex oil and filter. Gear box oil replacing. So probably another 300.

It’s just had bam belt kit and all replaced at 380. I like the car but feel
It is costing too much to keep given its poor mpg. What would people do? Seen an ok xc70 near not as good for towing but better fuel and 60k on clock.

Lastly play in both from shocks so not sure how much that will cost to repair.
