sounds like you should be pretty good. i would check the timing belt just to be safe, but i doubt it would be bad this early. i wish mine was maintained this well, but the service had been done at many different shops which i don't like.

was all of this done at a volvo dealer?

and do you have any warning lights on the dash?

yes all was done at volvo dealership.1 owner. no cel lights...i paid $4800 without taxes all together i paid $5400 they just wouldnt go any lower im like *** it...i think is a pretty good deal considering all that was done to the car maintenance wise and 1 owner certified and its very clean. it came with a rear spoiler also...im gonna upgrade the hoses and lines with samco soon and some slight mods im just trying to enjoy it now i only had it for 2 days

If the timing belt was replaced over 5 years ago, then replace it now. No dates were on your service statements. Same with serpentine belt.

I would,
-replace thermostat
-Do PCV
-Check underneath for oil leaks
-change trans fluid
-new plugs
-and replace front suspension parts
-check fluid levels especially coolant and then the radiator for leaks, very common at that age
-Mobil 1, or any other synthetic is just fine. Mobil 1 is nothing special at all.

timing belt was changed 43,595 miles ago so its not due again. it has no leaks. i will be updating all the hoses n lines with samco soon for starters and buying a tune up kit from ipd with Denso iridium plugs,ipd performance wires,and complete pcv kit. and later ipd short ram intake,clear corner lights,3" full turbo exhaust system... all lil at a time as i build my money up lol
