S60 Buying Advice

S60 Buying Advice
OK - I'll confess that I am a total Volvo newbie, so I am here to learn.
I am looking at a used S60 as a daily commuter for my son to travel back and forth from his engineering classes.
This is the beast I am looking at: 2005 Volvo S60 Sedan | used cars & trucks | Charlottetown | Kijiji
Does anyone have any "been there - done that" advice before I make the move? What should I watch out for? And what mileage have you been averaging?
Any and all words of wisdom would be most welcome.

In general a maintenance history is highly desired. Volvos are on a 10 year / 100K mile timing belt schedule so a 2005 may be due. Was the car getting synthetic oil? (good for VVT gears which can clog up). Take a peek inside the fill cap - you should see some staining but zero gunk. In general, you can get a shop to do a full inspection for about 1-1 1/2 hour's labor, well worth it if you are not a DIY fixer.
