Bought my 2006 V50 2.0D in March 2007 with 12000 miles on the clock. I just went past the 100,000 mark yesterday and it's been mostly a troublefree journey.
The alternator went at around 80,000 miles.
I've also experienced the Brake Failure message which turned out to be an ECU problem. The Door Control Module broke at 95000 miles and was a pain in the arse to fix. EGR valve needed replacement at 55,000 miles. Still running on the original clutch, dual mass flywheel and all other parts.
Car is very comfortable although a bit on the firm side.
Interior quality is excellent.
