I'm looking at a Volvo S60, it has a "full" volvo service history but I am a tad weary of it.

The car in question is a 2.0 Se.

service has been as follows :

1. March 2005 at 7.5k when it should have been 12k
2. 6 Sept 2005 at 17k when it should have been 18k
3. 21 may 2007 at 47k when it should have been 36k
4. 4 Jun 2008 at 68k when it should have been 72k.

Is that too off?

service 3 would be way too late for me, 30k between services would be enough for me to walk away from it

It does seem like quite a gap.

I think the service intervals are supposed to be 18,000 miles or 12 months. Whichever is sooner.

That'll be desperate for a cambelt if it hasn't been done already

12,000 or 12 months for the S60.

It quite obviously isn't a comprehensive service history to the manufacturers schedule, however it is full if that is what it has had.

Could you not check if there is a missing stamp in the book with your local dealer if they were done at the main dealer?

Edit: There are plenty of S60s out there, don't get hung on this one if your concerned about it.
