How many miles to keep the V70 for.

Looking for people's opinions on mileage on these cars.

I currently drive a 2009 Euro 5 D5 205ps auto SE V70. I have owned for over two years. Before that it was my Dad's who owned it from 6 months old. Before that it was the supplying dealer. It has a full Volvo service history. A box file full of receipts and invoices. In the time I've had it I have replaced the exhaust sensor, refurbished the wheel (back to bare metal) to fix a slow puncture. Had the radiator replaced and leaks from the windscreen washer system fixed.

Currently on 110k miles. Needs new front tyres. Possibly front pads and discs soon as well.

I took out a loan for the next four years with the aim of changing the car and paying back my Dad what is left of what I owed for putting a deposit down on a house.

First instance is to trade it in, but will struggle to get much over £3k, then get a newer car.

Now thinking, refresh it and run for another 4 years, doing 15k to 18k a year? Then look to change after that.
