Water pump at 109,000 miles.
The most reliable car I have had. Dull to drive but in 8+ years only a Water pump apart from brake pads, 1 Battery and 2 sets of tyres. Now 144,000 miles.
Provides reliable dog/child/wife transport and will do so until it drops.
I bought my 1986 740 GLE Wagon two years ago, when it had 192,000 miles on it. It now has almost 217,000 miles on it and is still going strong. It was my first Volvo, and because it was so reliable and safe, I have been a Volvo fan ever since!!!
MY 740 wagon is a joy. It has 245,000 miles on it and I abuse it everyday. they like to be driven hard and are built to take it. When I take it to the garage they say that the engine, providing the oil is changed regularly, will last another 250,000 miles. I am thrilled with the car.
