As you know, it all depends on past maintenance....
well maintained with regular oil changes and good quality part replacement,,, preferably Volvo... they will go on and on.... Many on here have over 300K+... theres a specific thread on the home page.... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=70483 So, if you know the cars provenance..... and are happy with that.... why not. |

I've had (manual) 57 plate D5 for 5 years, now on 165k miles.
The main annoying issues I've had relate to front suspension (pulling to one side, knocks, creaks etc) - almost sorted now after replacing most bushes / ball joints / swivels / shocks etc. Engine-wise, other than normal servicing i've only had to change the swirl-flaps (common on the 185 engine). It's going to need a DMF soonish though. I think the autos are kinder to DMFs however. |
