My guess is that the brake fluid in this car is 4-8 years old and has 50,000-100,000 miles of use. The PO (2nd owner) would never do preventive maintainence on this car, but the original owner had the car serviced by a Volvo dealer for the first 150,000 miles and I'm cetain that the brake fluid isn't the factory fill. I was planning on a more aggressive technique than gravity bleeding. FWIW the fluid in the MC looks clean, the pedal is firm and the car stops smoothly with plenty of control.
