Default Anyone driven a 2005 Volvo S60 2.5t 150K+?

I have a 2005 S40 2.4i which I traveled excessively with for the past 7 years. The odometer now reads 323,000 mi. However, It has stopped working so I estimate that it is really around 350k. Anyway, I've never had to do anything to the car other than scheduled standard maintenance. I would like to keep this one but buy a lower mileage S60 as well. I've had such great luck with the 2.4i engine that I am unsure of getting a 2.5t. The main reason to buy this car is for the all wheel drive. Has anyone put a lot of miles on a 2005 s60 2.5T? If so how has the reliability been?

very similar powertrains.....same architecture....what are you worried about....Volvo 5 cylinders are amazing....as long as they have not been abused.

I drove one for a while and it didnt give me any problems. 05 2.5T 165K miles
I drive an 06 2.5T 127K miles, no problems yet there either. Just let the turbo warm up/cool down and take good care of it, you should be fine!

How does a digital odometer stop working?

What do you mean let the turbo warm up/cool down?
