Are 150,000-mile Volvo V70s towards the end of their lives?
I am looking at buying a Volvo V70 2.4-litre petrol estate for my work as a plumber, but I don't want anything new so I am looking at 52 plates and 03 plates. They all have very high mileage, around 150,000 - 160,000, so I was just wondering if this was common for Volvos or are these cars coming towards the end of their lives?

The cars are coming to the end of their lives. The police get rid of theirs at 140,000 - 150,000 miles because of this.
