Default Worth it?

I have a XC90 that’s done just over 100k miles and is around 8 years old. I’ve been told the clutch system AOC and rear Haldex need to be replaced as the car is very unsafe.

The car is great but i’ve been quoted over £6k by the dealership and am not convinced it’s worth doing vs the cars value and instead will get a new car.

Any thoughts? Is the quote outrageous or standard?

That definitely sounds incorrect.
