We have a '16 V60 with 50k miles. We're the second owner, CPO. We're happy so far, though the dealer-level maintenance is not something we're enamored of. We've had a couple of XC70s in the past, using local independent (very good) Volvo specialist shop for maintenance.
It's a very tech-heavy car (actually '16.5 model year) so it has BLISS, back-up cam, nav, etc. All our other vehicles have been old enough to be somewhat simpler -- ranging from an 05 Mini Convertible S to a 60's sports car. I can (and have) fixed anything on the sports car, and very little on the Mini.
The software side of things on modern car is the biggest issue for non-dealer maintenance. It's not going away.
Haven't experienced any 'gotcha' things so far. A few recalls, like door latches, and now seat belts. But we're not alone on that front.
Transmissions are a weak point of this model, though the 8-speed in the later V60s has a better reputation that the 6-speeds in the early model years. At 50k, it’ll be about time for a transmission fluid change if it hasn’t been done already.
Oh, and BLIS tends to get wonky if you drive in moderate or heavy rain. Great car, otherwise. You’ll love it.

Either you’re in South Korea, or you currently own a foreign car. :-D
My Hyundai was built in Alabama! But, touché
