Question Issues to watch out for? Buying a 2010 XC60

D5 [205] SE Lux Premium 5dr AWD Geartronic

Seller is asking for £7,500-- 2010 registration, 87,000 miles on clock.

MOT valid till 7 November 2022. Last test was on 8 November 2021 with 84,622 miles.

No outstanding safety recalls.

It looks like it was last serviced in January 2021 with 81,417 miles, and is missing this year's service. The car has been with the dealer since June this year.

Is this a decent buy?

Any particular issues to watch out for? What could the next service reveal?

Is there a more accurate service schedule besides what I found on volvohowto.com ?

Attached are the service records.

doesn't look like a cambelt or aux belt has been changed, so worth getting that sorted.

Also getting to the age where the gearbox could do with an oil change too

Thanks! What would be the approximate cost of cambelt/aux belt?

Yep!

I called Cambridge Garage where the 1st service was carried out in 2010 for a 90,000 mi service quote: £1,295 which include cambelt, aux belt and tensioner.
