190,000k on our '93. Lot's of little electonic annoyances, but it starts, goes and stops well. And its paid for.
'06 XC90 2.5 158k miles
'01 V70 T5 (gone at 268k miles)
'01 XC70 (gone at 90k miles)
'93 850 GLT (gone at 194k miles)
And many a 240, 140 and even a 122 before those

Hi After working on Volvos for over 12 years I have yet to see someone wear one out! I have two V70 s in the workshop at present for routine service. A '98 showing 300,000 miles (about4560,000 Km) and a'99 with 350,000 recorded miles! If you're looking for a used Volvo look for a good service history and just use a high mileage to get the price down.
