I have a similar car, what age is yours?

I bought mine with 55k miles in Feb 2020 and it now have 64k miles.

Touch wood it's been OK and I changed the gearbox oil when I bought it although Volvo don't usually specify an interval for this.

I've had to regas the aircon, change a track rod end and have a 4 wheel alignment done. Cambelts are due at 108k miles or 10 years I believe. Aux belts at 54k miles

None that I'm aware of - with 60k miles and full history it should be fine. Just do the usual checks of making sure the gearbox changes smoothly etc

Volvo get their automatic gearboxes from Aisin in Japan. The 6-Speed was used in a bunch of different cars like toyota, lexus, volvo etc. The main thing is to change the oil from time to time, 60.000 miles is a good time to do that, otherwise these gearboxes are pretty bulletproof
