Highest miles in a S80/60/V70/XC70

As above, Volvo seems to have a great reputation for reliability, so my question is what is the highest miles covered in a modern day Volvo?

Certainly 2-300k miles is not at all uncommon..and I'm sure that I read somewhere that, in the USA, there was one ( can't remember the exact model) that had covered either a half million..OR a million miles..!!

Hello, It's over a million miles in a P1800. The bloke lives on Long Island, New York. I have 139,000 on my 2002. I'm closing in on him. Let me tell you what a mechanically inclined farmer told me when I was a kid. The discussion was about one brand of tractor over another. He said, "A machine is only as good as the maintenance it receives." Take it as Gospel. Kira
