The only 'maintenance' converters require are O2 sensors, at around 120-150K miles, and good brand gasoline. Of course, any vacuum leaks to the intake manifold must be resolved ASAP because they mess up the fuel air ratio.

A lot of 'cold' engine running will also shorten the life of the cat, like short trips.

You may sell the Volvo, your decision of course, but what are you going to replace it with?

Keeping it running is better than buying new
