    Depends on the miles it's has. I would check the EGR cooler DPF filter and find out if the injector cups where changed. I had some issues with mine and where changed to stainless steel.
    Also check the history on the transmission of it is a ishift and make sure all updates on ECM and transmission controller have the latest software from Volvo.
     
    TRUCKEE411 Thanks this.

    Who was the previous owner? Maintenance records? Heavy loads in Northeast or light loads in Midwest? It all depends

    Pass on it,their drivers are rookies and I doubt they do oil changes every 10-15k miles

    My advice run. Walk away. Maintenance should be ok, but those rookie drivers are rough. Who knows it was damaged and fixed body work Several times.

    On the main forum page here go to 'Trucks/18 wheelers' under the Garage tab (scroll down) and then go to the Volvo forum.

    Read there. Lots and lots of info on the common problems but overall great trucks. Just don't ask a KW or Pete owner, they'll say it's junk. They are wrong.
