You are correct in the fact that he is talking complete bo**oks about the ABS as well. That would worry me as he either knows nothing about them or is a chancer !!

My thoughts exactly Mark about the ABS - missed where the reg number was supplied but had a look at the MoT history, nothing wildly scary but a repeated comment over a few years was "general underbody corrosion".

For the record, the only car i can bring to mind that actually used a mechanical ABS system was the Jensen Interceptor FF back in the late 60s/early 70s, system was develop by Dunlop IIRC but i don't think was used on any other vehicles.
This Volvo could be a good car but seems like it will need some imminent TLC on the bodywork/chassis.
