What should I look out for on 2010 Volvo S80?

What should I look out for in a 2010 Volvo S80 1.6 diesel with 80,000 miles on the clock? Is it a reliable car? Are there problems to look out for at that sort of mileage and would they be expensive to fix?

Thank you

Should my wife trade in her Passat for a diesel version?

Should my wife trade in her 2008 Volkswagen Passat 1.4 TSI petrol for a more economical diesel car? My wife loves her Highline Passat, with 130,000km on the clock, but is wondering should she get something newer with similar spec (she's fond of the heated leather seats!). She uses it for work all around the county and also school runs etc for two young kids. What do you recommend?

Thanks
