The automaker had a High Mileage Club that dated back to the '60s, but this new club also recognizes people who have simply owned their car for a long time, if not driven it hundreds of thousands or millions of miles. Joining the club is easy as long as you have owned your Volvo for at least 10 years, own a Volvo with more than 100,000 original miles and/or are a member of the Volvo High Mileage Club.
