    What specifically do you want to know?

    Volvo's have their good and bad like all trucks. The bad are the cups and injectors need more frequent replacement than others; parts are harder to come by and generally more expensive and fewer people work on them.
    The good - I have seen many go well over 1M miles with just routine maintenance; the fuel mileage is good and the ride and turning radius are better than most.

    I have a 2012 D13 with over 700k miles and I have been happy with it.

    Just my 2 cents.

    My 15 has been fine. 800k and only 2 injectors under warranty at very low mileage. No DEF/DPF trouble. I would look for newer than 14 if you can find it or if you get a deal on it save 10k for any big repairs in the first year.

    How’s the Dyno results look?

    Blowby under the limit by 60%?

    Ecm stats match up with chassis miles?
