Should I replace my Volvo V40 with a V50?

My 2001 Volvo V40 has got some major problem, which will cost about €2,000 to fix so Iam looking at getting a V50. I got my Volvo when it was five years old and soon after it needed a major part replaced, which was usual for its age at the time. I don't want this to happen when I buy a V50 so wonder what year car I should get? I see a lot of the 2008 models for sale and wonder will they be needing some new part as soon as I get it?

Thanks for your help

Is a Ford Mondeo Estate good for high mileage?

I'm interested in a 2005 Ford Mondeo Estate with 112,000 miles on it. I need to do about 2,400 miles per month mostly on motorways. Would this be a sensible choice in terms of reliability or is the mileage too high?
