I have a deposit down on a very nice 2006 V70 with about 80k miles. It has the 2.5T engine and front wheel drive transmission. I'm taking it for a pre-purchase inspection soon, but wanted to get some ideas on what the common pain points for these cars are in the 80k mile range? Carfax shows regular maintenance performed at the dealer.

The research I've done seems to say the engines are reliable and the FWD transmission isn't as troublesome as the AWD versions. Are axles/CV joints an issue?

I'm having a hard time with the idea of letting my 240 go, but I think it might be time for a modern car :)
