When you say you’ve had a visual check, have you actually checked suspension components for play or just had a quick glance?
I wouldn’t expect much to be wrong with it really, as the mileage is low for an 11 year old car & its not as if those miles were done on roads full of potholes (I assume, as you said the Volvo is used for longer journeys). That’s not to say parts aren’t ‘tired’ though.
Are there any knocking noises at present?

Ahh.. 18 to 17 May make a difference on an s80 but don’t forget this in an XC90 so he will be running 235/60. They are already massively compliant.
