With an XC70 of that age check that the angle gear hasn't stripped and turned it into FWD - also, note that some owners will deliberately convert them to FWD, so either get it well checked over by a mechanic you trust, or get someone (possibly not the current owner) to watch you launch the car on a loose surface in order to see if the rear wheels apply any drive to ground.
