Have owned two 2013/2014 s40s, one was trouble-free until about 125K when suspension issues cropped up; fixed those & kept on driving to about 175K when we replaced it with a passsat. The other ran like a clock to 175K, when all kinds of odd things began happening. Motor mounts needed replacing, ignition cylinder, weird sticking AC baffle caused a loud constant clicking, etc etc. But we hung onto it because of the 2K towing capacity. I did take meticulous care of the cars w/all scheduled maintenance/services, and both are still daily drivers on the road today w/other owners.

See, this sounds normal to me. That's about the reliability and usage I would expect from the good car manufacturers before I would start to need repairs.
