XC90 T8, total 135k km on the clock and have done 85k km ourselves:
- previous owner did the brake pads at about 40k km
- we have now done front and rear brake pads recently (so after about 90k km use), both front and rear still had about 3mm to go.
It could bark the tires coming out of a roundabout ;-)
Don\u2019t let them discourage you. If you have a place to park it and work on it and you want it then get it. Worst comes worst you are out $900 and have a car to learn on. My first project was doing a head gasket on a t5 volvo and everyone said that it would be too hard to learn how to work on a car with. It wasn\u2019t easy or cheap compared to Hondas but I had a turbo 5 cylinder volvo when I fixed it.
I’ve got a ‘21 XC60 T5 Inscription now with about 33k miles and absolutely love it. I’ve had a couple problems with the front, passenger side interior handle but they’ve been covered under the CPO ten year warranty. Wish it had full screen and wireless CarPlay but there are ways around it and replace the OEM brakes with better ones when it’s time as the Volvo ones suck as they wear quickly and unevenly. VERY happy with it.
They always screw you in filters... I do those.
my dishwasher has around 200 mile motorway range on a 64kWh net battery, which'll get me from Oxford to Darlington on a single charge, I could get to Newcastle if I camp behind a truck for most of it. My car is also stupidly inefficient for an EV, better EVs like a ID.3 or Megane could go further with smaller batteries.
My 3 years old XC60 battery has been diagnosed as bad 55% last 2 weeks ago, I said to them keep it as I feel they are still good and road worthy. Gonna do a snapshot again at another 6 months to evaluate.
air suspension issues (cold winters here - pretty much all air suspension cars end up having problems in some 5 years of ownership)
the piston thing oil eating is happening - I don’t remember getting anything from them telling me about the issue. And for more than a year.. maybe 2… been bringing it in for oil when the light goes on between services.
A/C condenser. Each of these visits were at least $1000, the AC condenser over $2k.
