You must be mad! The only issue I had with mine in the last 4 years and 45,000 was about 2 weeks after I bought the vehicle. The DEM pump in the rear failed. As I bought from volvo they apologised and repaired it fully.

With a T8 the list of £3,000 parts that can fail are mind boggling. And then some! The Volvo Selekt at that prove is worth every penny. All in my opinion of course.

If your budget was 20k then sure, you would need to pound the private and independent ones but at your price point Volvo selekt is probably the best option.

Have you ever (ERAD total failure) tried to claim a £9,000 part from a warranty company. I would be most wary myself. Of course only my own opinion.
