Default Is it time to get rid of my xc60?

Hi
First time posting here but looking for the knowledge of experienced owners.

I’ve got a 64 plate XC60 D4 Rdesign which has the 5 cylinder Diesel engine.
I’ve owned it for 3.5 years and put 60k miles on it in that time so it now has 107k miles on it.
It feels like I’ve spent a lot on it in that time, broken springs, new radiator, 2 sets of tyres due to alignment issues, etc

It’s now due it’s timing belt change, along with service and this week the bonnet sensor has stopped working so it thinks the bonnet is open when it’s firmly closed.

I’ve not owned a Volvo before so have no idea if these problems are typical and given mileage now an concerned at what could come next. The auto gearbox can be a bit lumpy at times too.

What should I expect to pay for a good Volvo independent (any recommendations for one near Chester would be helpful) for the timing belt, service and bonnet sensor?

And, would you be looking to move it on or is it typical xc60 issues?

Thanks for your help
