New clutch at 275,000 miles.
Driver's side taillight assembly fills with water if driven in heavy rain.
Air conditioning compressor replaced at about 85,000 miles (no AC problems since this replacement.
I am the original owner of this vehicle and overall I have been very impressed with its build quality and reliability. With nearly 300,000 miles on this vehicle, it still has never had any requirement for major engine work. It even still has the original turbo!
However, I wish that this car had a proper 5-speed manual transmission and not this silly electric overdrive monstrosity.
Nevertheless, it is still a very quick, safe, and comfortable car.
My father bought this car brand new and it currently has 198000 miles. Yes the original turbo still works and all that's been done to the engine is oil changes. Volvo does not build cars like this anymore.
