Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2008 model year cars.
- AWD / DEM module failureModerate
Haldex pump or DEM faults can quietly disable the rear axle, leaving the XC90 driving like a front-wheel-drive car until traction is really needed.
- Automatic gearbox wearSerious
Heavy towing and long service intervals can leave the automatic box flaring, thumping or slipping under load.
- Front suspension arm and top mount wearModerate
The heavy nose wears front bushes, top mounts and drop links, giving the familiar XC90 knock over poor UK roads.
