Crankcase vent can be a problem just as on othe Volvos. Adequate oil service history delays when/if this will happen.
T belt at 105 and serpentine belts then, if not before. Broken serpentine belt poses risks for timing belt breakage if it wraps pulley and pushes into timing belt cover.
A/C compressor and oil pan is far more vulnerable on this model. If you have any history of curb bumps then a guard from aftermarket sources is a good idea.
