How reliable are the XC70s? V70-XC70

We have a 1999 V70, normally aspirated, and it has been a fine car. It's starting to rack up the miles and I was looking for something similar, I have found a 2008 XC70 with low miles that looks interesting, but how reliable is the AWD and the car in general? I would certainly get my mechanic to inspect the car before purchasing, but is there anything I should be wary of or look for? Are the 2008 v70s more reliable or less?

I just haven't looked at new cars in quite some time. Other than the ETM issue, our 1999 v70 has been very reliable (and well-maintained) and even the ETM issue was covered by Volvo.

We also have a 2000 S40 which, although it seems to have more issues than the v70, has been relatively reliable too.

Thanks.
