4 x matching Continental Sport 7 which are 2k old - which seemingly retail at about £250 a corner! And relatively fresh discs and pads - which are £1.5k for the Brembos up front.
So here is the twist; I spoke to the previous owner and the issues I am reporting were previously investigated by Volvo without conclusion. They then chose to just live with them!
If this doesn't turn out as a new steering rack and diff related I'm going to be very surprised.

Hmm, ok. Maybe a bit concerning! I'm guessing "chose to live with them" is the reason for sale and an eye watering quote to fix. I guess you'll already be doing this but search owners forums etc for clues. Is it a haldex awd system?
As a side note, I hear more and more that newish cars are needing new steering racks. I wonder who the supplier is and what corners they cut now.

I wouldn't be too concerned, but be prepared to fix previous owners lack of maintenance. Could be a series of worn bushings, and diff/gearbox mounts.
Are all the tyres the same? Also, when was the last time the all wheel drive system was serviced?
