I'll revive this thread, I have a MY20 XC60 R-Design Pro and the seat base bolster is already wearing and its only done 2.2k miles!!!

Will get a picture up in a bit to show, had an XC90 R-Design that also had the same seat base bolster wear. Also had an XC60 Inscription before that and it had wear, but less than the R-Design seats.

Not really good to be honest with you all three Volvos I've had have had really quite pronounced premature wear on the drivers seat.

I just take it on the chin now as I know they're all like that.

Right have attached a picture of how it is now, don't forget this is a 19 plate car with just over 2100 miles on the clock.

Am going to go at it with a microfibre and Dr Leather spray for a bit and then post another picture after.

You can't really see it that well in the picture but bits of the piping have worn off and the side of the bolster also has some wear marks.

I see no signs of wear there.. Some creases- yes, but those are normal for any leather.
