I got rid of my ‘18 plate S90 D4 Inscription in May, for exactly the same reason.
It was 7 months old when I bought it and during my ownership it went back to Volvo twice for the ‘oil overfilled’ warning. On both occasions an oil and filter change was done under warranty but as the warranty was due to expire any further problems would be down to me as the fault was “because of my driving style”! The dealer wouldn’t entertain any discussion about the DPF active regeneration and oil dilution problems despite them being a known issue.
I never really gelled with the car, particularly the noisy and unrefined Diesel engine and only average build quality and materials. It’s also my opinion that some of the supposed safety features relating to collision avoidance and traffic sign recognition braking are positively dangerous. Calling Volvo a premium brand is a real stretch.
On the day it was sold and driven away I was a very happy bunny.
