At least being a 2000 it won't be limited to 56 mph

I avoided volvo's when looking
I'd prefer a DAF any day as the parts are much cheaper and far more common. I think its been said on here before that Volvo's were good for HGV, but crap for little lorries.

just watch the weight of the chassis on volvo - they are approx 400 kilos heavier than Iveco and DAF chassis. Good truck but heavy, which is why very very few 7.5 tonners are built on them.
