Default Inaccurate speedo

I've got an 05 V70 auto 163 on standard 224/45 17 wheels and after a journey, say 30mins or so, my speedo becomes more and more inaccurate to a point where it's reading nearly 10mph over the actual speed as verified by the GPS on my phone. Also when stopped, the needle doesn't go down to 0, it will stop at whatever over reading speed it had got to, usually 6-10mph. Anyone had similar happen to them and ideas as to how to sort it? Cheers
