I understand what you mean, but unfortunately, its hard to predict that.
Volvo’s are capable of mammoth miles, with maintenance of course. So keep your servicing up, get the timing belt changed (as well as the auxiliary belt & auxiliary belt tensioner) & you’ll have peace of mind that there’s good/new belts running the main engine components.
The downside to these cars, in my opinion, is suspension parts. Being big & heavy, these parts do wear & at over 100k, I’d suspect suspension work may be needed (Control arms, track rod ends… things like that). Tyres are another thing to consider.
I would suggest getting the transmission fluid changed (if its an auto) to prolong the life of the transmission.
