Hello. I used to frequent these pages a lot in the past as I owned an amazing Volvo S60 T5 Geartronic about 8 years ago. This was the best car I've ever owned.. Today I'm looking for a S80 D5 automatic. I had a test drive in an immaculate 2010 lux model this afternoon and I'm almost certainly going to buy it. However since it has done 101k I want to know if I should be concerned about anything in particular because of the milage. It has been fully serviced. My T5 done 197k by the time I sold it but this will be my first diesel engine and I know little about them. Any advice is appreciated. Cheers Anth..

How many miles a week do you intend to do, modern diesel engines dont like lots of short runs. cam belt,
