Default Volvo S80 d5 185 2007 Geartronic purchase?

I am thinking about purchasing a volvo s80 d5 185 2007 Geartronic.

The car looks like a nice car but the car has 100,000 miles on the clock - I am more concerned to how many mile the Geartronic box can last without problems? Any advice would be great

Treated correctly these boxes will give you no bother. My last s60 had 160,000 miles on it when I sold it.
Gearbox was smooth up and down gears.
Oil change at 100k

I have read about both these going to high miles without problems and self destructing with not so high miles. I guess the correct answer is a test drive with the transmission fully warmed up - a good 20 min of hard drive. look for perfectly smooth shifting through the gears.
