Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2018 model year cars.
- Sensus infotainment freezing and rebootingModerate
Early XC90s can suffer screen freezes, slow responses and the temporary loss of climate, navigation and camera functions.
- ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive) FailureSerious
T8 plug-in hybrids are notorious for rear-motor failure, often caused by internal coolant ingress. Coolant leaks past the seals into the motor housing, leading to bearing failure or internal short circuits. In the UK, main dealer replacement of the ERAD unit is extremely costly (£5k-£9k).
- Sunroof drain blockages and water ingressSerious
The sunroof drains can block with debris, leading to water entering the cabin, often soaking the footwells and potentially damaging the central fuse box (CEM).
