Yes most certainly.

Not big mileage for a Volvo, no service history need not be a problem as a) the car has done a reasonable mileage so it has been reliable and b) not many owners so those who had it were happy to stick with it.

At £400 it is not dear nor is it cheap but these cars seem to be priced on condition rather than mileage or year.

Although they are not the most frugal car on the road, as a second car you will find that you won't want to give it up as they have a way of growing on you. This forum is made up of members who have an affinity for their cars, you read of the problems but also the good points are listed here too.

So go for it, haggle if you can, use it but don't abuse it and in 10 years you might want to replace it.
