I can only assume that the always on headlights have massively contributed to the degredation as the other two halogen projector headlamp cars I've owned (a 1998 Ford Cougar with 150,000 miles on, back in 2013) had way better headlamp output than ANY of the significantly newer S40's I've owned.
I also had a 2003 Toyota Avensis with halogen projector headlights that again with 165,000 miles on (in 2017) were way better than any of the S40's I've owned.
I almost feel that Volvo should offer some kind of discounted replacement for the headlights on these cars.
