Should you buy a used Volvo XC 90 D5 SE AWD Semi-auto?

The Volvo XC 90 D5 SE AWD Semi-auto has an overall MOT pass rate of 61.2% across 926 real MOT tests — below the UK average, so reliability should be a key concern.

A typical Volvo XC 90 D5 SE AWD Semi-auto owner drives around 6,812 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
