Considering buying 2001 S60 2.4T S60

I've been driving and fixing RWD Volvos for 30 years, including 144, 164, 240, and late model 960/V90 models. I do 99% of my own work.

I have an opportunity to purchase a 2001 S60 2.4T with 169k miles. I know the owner and the car has been maintained meticulously throughout it's life. I will review the records before purchasing. Other than standard wear items, are there any specific mechanical integrity issues I should be aware of at that mileage?

The car reportedly has no known mechanical issues other than front brakes needing to be done in the near future.

Thanks in advance!

    If it has a 5 speed auto tranny, I would keep looking. It is approaching T belt and tensioner interval. If the struts/shocks are original...

    Keeping it running is better than buying new
