Will the seller of the used Volvo allow me to have the car inspected?

They usually do allow it – if not, they may be hiding something. 

Note that Vehicle History Report services show only accidents / damage that has been reported to insurance companies. We can usually tell if it’s been in an accident and what parts have been replaced.
